Age Definitions

2024-25 AGE DEFINITIONS FOR FC ELITE TEAMS

**PRO TIP:  The age your daughter is on June 30, 2025, is the age group she should try out for!


Age definitions are set by the USAV and the Badger Region, our governing bodies. Some athletes may qualify for two different age groups, depending on DOB and grade. 

Example: A player was born on July 1, 2010, but is in the 7th grade. She qualifies to play on the 14's National, American and Regional division teams (because of her DOB), as well as the 13's Regional division teams (because of her grade).

The chart below will help you determine which age group/divisions your child qualifies for.

During tryouts, we flag athletes who qualify for multiple age groups so our coaches can place them on the team we think is the best fit. We generally recommend players play with athletes in their same grade, but if you have a preference for which age group your daughter plays in, please let us know.

If you're unsure which teams your child qualifies for or which tryout age group to attend, please email fcelite.volleyball@gmail.com and let us know your daughter's DOB and grade.
