Fall 2004 Registration

Some ways to think of your "U" age:

Your "U" age is generally your school grade plus 6. So, most 3rd graders are U9, both in the Fall and Spring of that academic year. For Sandlot and In-town games, this definition works well, as players usually enjoy playing with classmates. However, if a player is a year older than most classmates, this may be a problem in travel leagues, where birthdate decides.
Your "U" age is "How old will I be on the July 31 after this academic year?" For example, if you will be 12 years old on July 31, 2005, then for the Fall 2004/Spring 2005 seasons you are U12.
The "U" means "Under" and actually refers to the previous July 31 before the current Fall or Spring season. So, if you're "under 12" on July 31, 2004, then you are U12 in both Fall and Spring. This idea implies that even a 9-year-old is U12, and usually the leagues only limit the maximum age and not the minimum. There are exceptions.

Fall 2004 registration deadline for Travel is June 1, 2004. For In-town: August 1, 2004, and Sandlot: September 10, 2004. You may register online here.
