Age Groups

USA Field Hockey determines U group by the age a player is as of 12/31 each year for the following year, i.e. if a player is 10 on 12/31, she is U12 for the following year. The majority of the winter season takes place after 12/31/2023 so all players are invited to join these age groups for the 2023-2024 season:

U10 is for players born in 2014, 2015 and 2016

U12 is for players born in 2012 and 2013

U14 is for players born in 2010 and 2011

U16 is for players born in 2008 and 2009

U19 is for players born in 2005, 2006, and 2007

**All age groups can include players up to the maximum age. For example, U19 players can be any age, up to 18 years old.
