Q:  My child is 15 which division will they play in?

A:  Starting in 2024 we have opened up the opportunity for 15 year old's to play in our Kickers division (now 15U), we did this because we have seen an increase in kids turning 15 and not yet in High School.  They can still play in this division if they are in High School but NOT if they are participating on the High School Soccer Program (can not do both).  You noticed there is an option to select either 15U or Minor Senior when registering, Minor Senior division is for ages 15-19 (not participating in High School Soccer). Due to registration numbers we have not been able to form a team the last several years, if we do not have enough to form a team we will contact you for options.
