2018 US Lacrosse New Age Segmentation

US Lacrosse has recommended the adoption of "Age-based Segmentation" for associations instead of "Grade-based Segmentation" starting in 2017. In the past, MSLax has not been a proponent of changing to the "U" based system because it did not have a clear delineation between youth and high school. There was always confusion about what to do with girls in ninth grade. The new program is now a clear-cut division with 14U designated as youth and anything over 14U is high school. Since we do not have enough girls for single-based levels (ie 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, etc.) we are following the recommendation of using even-year grouping (i.e. 10U, 12U, 14U, etc.) that US Lacrosse recommended. This is in line with boys lacrosse age-based levels in Minnesota.

Levels for 2018 are as follows:

10U – Girls born between 9/1/2007 – 8/31/2009 (formerly 3rd-4th grade)

12U – Girls born between 9/1/2005 – 8/31/2007 (formerly 5th-6th grade)

14U – Girls born between 9/1/2003 – 8/31/2005 (formerly 7th-8th grade)

Please refer to the age chart on our home page for more information.

One-Time Birth Certificate Download

Parents will also be required to do a one-time download of a players birth certificate when renewing or signing up for a US Lacrosse membership. This will also ensure that players are at the correct level.
