5v5 Soccer believes teams should be combined based on skill level and not just age. Each age group includes three choices for Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice. The top club/travel teams should select Advanced, and rec/low level should select Novice. Everyone else would fall in to the Intermediate category. You can also think of these as Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You will register in your birth year (e.g. 2012 Boys), and select your competitive level.

For example: if the oldest player on your team was born on 9/1/2012, the team would register for the “2012” division. In bracketing, we may pair a 2012 Advanced team with a 2011 Intermediate team for competitive matches.When we make divisions, we will combine divisions +/- 1 year/level to make the most competitive matches possible as described above. If there isn't a perfect fit for your team, the Tournament Director will reach out to work with you to make the best choice for your team.

If your team has mixed ages, or mostly younger players, and you'd like us to consider that when bracketing, please leave a special note in the comments section.Teams that play in the more competitive division for their age group will receive a 60 point “play up” bonus in the National Rankings, plus an additional 5 points for each “older” team they play against.As each 5v5 Soccer Tournament is a different mix of ages and skill levels, all division placements will be reviewed by the tournament director and teams may, at the sole discretion of the tournament director, be moved up or down to form the most competitive brackets possible. This means your team may play up a skill level, age group, or play in a boys and girls bracket.

AGE GROUPS

5v5 Soccer accepts male and female teams ages U6 to Adult. 5v5 Soccer uses Calendar Year age divisions. Teams should register based upon the birth year of their oldest player. High School division should be chosen for teams ages Freshman – Seniors, with any special notes going in the comments section. Adult divisions are for teams with players 19 and above. Co-ed teams are accepted in our events but may have to play in the all-male age division

For Saturday tournaments, regular registration ends the Sunday before the event. We will begin the bracketing process on Monday morning, and brackets are usually released by Tuesday afternoon the week of the tournament. 

We work with our local tournament director and local host to get the brackets right. When you register, please properly indicate your ability level, we will pair you within your same age, or +/- 1 year with similar ability levels.

For Saturday tournaments, the schedule will be published Thursday by 8 pm. You will play four games between the times listed on the event page.
