Age Group Breakdown
•U14 – Birthday between 6/01/2002 and 08/31/2004 – 9th graders are prohibited from playing – YLM POLICY •U12– Birthday between 09/01/2004 and 08/31/2006 •U10 – Birthday between 09/01/2006 and 08/31/2008 •U8 – Birthday between 09/01/2008 and 8/31/2010 Adopted by both MBSLA (Minnesota Boys Scholastic Lacrosse Association) and YLM (Youth League of Minnesota)
Age Division/Team Formation/Verification Team Formation The intent of C3 will be to offer an “A” team at the U12 and U14 age groups. If there’s more than one (1) team at the U8 and U10 age groups, even teams will be created. The same goes for multiple “B” teams at the U12 and U14 age groups. C3 will hold player evaluations in April.
US Lacrosse Age Verification Similar to previous seasons, each player must be a registered member of US Lacrosse. US Lacrosse membership information can be found on their website (uslacrosse.org).
US Lacrosse has implemented changes to their age verification process for 2017. Players must have a US Lacrosse membership to participate in MN.
Per US Lacrosse, “The US Lacrosse Age verification system supports the organization’s player segmentation policy, passed by its Board of Directors in January 2016. Player segmentation helps to ensure player safety, competitive fairness and a consistent experience for youth lacrosse.”
Steps to Verify the Age of Your Child 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Scan or take a photo of your son or daughter’s birth certificate or state issues ID. Click the button below and log into your USLacrosse.org account, not your child’s. Upload your scan or photo to USLacrosse’s online system. USLacrosse will review your documentation, record the birthdate in their system and then permanently delete your uploaded document.
