To determine the appropriate age group for your son in a youth football tournament, you’ll need to consider his age as of the cutoff date, which is December 31, 2023, in this case.

Example:  Your son was born on July 5, 2014. As of December 31, 2024, he would be 10 years old (since his birthday hasn’t occurred yet). Therefore, he would be eligible for the 10U age group, as players in this category are typically under 10 years old as of the cutoff date.
