Soccer: ages and seasons

Typical starting ages
Rec soccer often starts around age 4 or 5. US Youth Soccer and US Club Soccer group players by birth year (for example U8 to U19).
Seasons
Most rec leagues play in fall and spring. Many clubs train year-round, with tryouts commonly in late spring or summer.
National organizations

General orientation only. Every program sets its own ages, fees and calendar.

How to choose a soccer program

  • Competitive clubs hold tryouts mostly in spring for the next season year. Ask which league the team plays in (for example ECNL, MLS NEXT, state leagues), total yearly cost including travel, and coach licensing.
  • Many YMCAs run youth leagues, clinics and camps, and some offer financial assistance. Programs vary by branch, so ask your local Y what it offers for your child’s age.
  • Check that coaches are background-checked and current on SafeSport and concussion training.
  • Soccer uses birth-year age groups, so confirm the right group before you register.
  • Each listing shows its source and last-updated date. Contact the program directly, and if you run it, claim the listing or suggest an edit to fix the details.

About these listings. Listings come from public sources. IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: nonprofits in the recreation and sports group with a recent filing, whose registered name identifies them as soccer programs. Their city is the registered mailing address, and their category is inferred from the name. OpenStreetMap: YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Police Athletic Leagues and public recreation and community centers tagged for soccer; offerings vary by location, so check that they run soccer. Southern California pilot listings were hand-checked against each program’s public page. Each listing shows its source and when that record was last updated. Listings marked “Confirmed by program” were checked with the program; a listing is not an endorsement. Always confirm ages, fees and tryouts with the program.
