For all other age groups please contact travel@vsaonline.org for more information.

When determining which age group your child falls into, the easiest way is to determine how old that child will be on 8/1 of this year.  For example, if the player is 14 by 8/1/09, then she will be a U15 player.  If her actual date of birth is 8/1, then she would be in the younger age group (U14). 

Please use the following chart to determine the age group for your child:
