Age Eligibility Chart
Below is the age eligibility chart for the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 season. The soccer year starts on August 1st and continues until July 31st so whatever "soccer age" a player is for the fall season they will continue to be that same "soccer age" until July 31st of the following year.
For the 2026-2027 season, US Soccer has changed player registration so that players will be placed on teams by school year registration (August 1st-July 31st) rather than birth year (January 1-Dec 31). To determine your child's soccer age, find your child's birth year and then look at the columns of January-July date of birth and August-December date of birth to see what "U" age your child is.
US Soccer has also released a tool in which you can enter your child's date of birth and the website will produce what soccer age your child is. That tool can be accessed at the URL below:

Available Programs
Oshkosh United has a variety of programs depending upon the age of the player. Most programs have some age overlap so a player might have multiple options depending upon the experience the player/family is seeking.
- U5-U6: United Juniors: Introductory soccer program that takes place during the summer and features one event a week that is part practice and part game. All events are in Oshkosh except for a few optional scrimmages in Neenah.
- U8 - U10: Academy: Bridge soccer program between recreational and select soccer that features open registration (no tryouts). Players have two practices a week and one game a week. Academy teams play other local Academy programs and participate in one local tournament each season.
- U11 - U19 Select/Elite: Players tryout in June to join a Select team for the fall and/or spring season. Select teams practice twice a week and play in one game a week. Select teams have fall and spring seasons and each team attends two tournaments in the fall and two tournaments in the spring. Select teams compete in the local East Central League. Teams that finish first or second in the East Central League may apply to join the WI Youth Soccer State League which features stronger competition with most games occurring in the Milwaukee or Madison area.
