Calendar Birth Year Registration Effective August 1st, 2016
Players will be encouraged to play their own age group, or birth year, however, exceptions will be made based on player development, difficulties in an age group or birth year, and overall team make up. As always, decisions will be made with the best interest of the players and teams in mind.
The Charts below show the birth year age group breakdown in addition to the small sided game mandates. We thank you for your interest in The Michigan Burn Soccer Club and we look forward to a great tryout in June.
