Tournament Rules

Lititz Summer Showcase Age Group Chart

To calculate the proper year for a player, take the ending year of the seasonal year and subtract the player’s birth year.

• Example #1:  2017 – 2002 = 15; the player is a U15 for the 2016-17 season
• Example #2:  2017 – 2005 = 12; the player is a U12 for the 2016-17 season
• Example #3:  2018 – 1999 = 19; the player is U19 for the 2017-18 season

Age Group based on year of birth:

1999 – U19
2000 – U18
2001 – U17
2002 – U16
2003 – U15
2004 – U14
2005 – U13
2006 – U12
2007 – U11
2008 – U10
2009 – U9

These birth years are set by USYSA and EPYSA, the State Association and all team must abide by these guidelines.

While it is possible to have a team play “up” to a higher age group with permission from the tournament, it is never allowed to play “down” to a younger age group. The age of a team is based upon the date of birth of the oldest player.
