Staring in with the Fall 2016-2017 season, US Youth Soccer redefined the age group structure and now use Birth Year to determine a player’s age group.

This change impacted the composition of Melrose United teams and we transitioned to birth year based teams during the 2017 spring season.  We intend to keep this new structure on a going forward basis.  Our primary placement of players will be based on their birth year and all players will either play on age or up one age group.  Players may be asked to play up one age group based on league mandated minimum roster sizes, overall skill level and positional need.

The following table summarizes the 2020-2021 club program by age group. Please refer to the following list to determine which age group applies to your player(s).
