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: 2018 – 2005 = 13; the player is a U13 for the 2018-19 season
- Example #2: 2018 – 1999 = 19; the player is U19 for the 2018-19 season
- Example #3: 2019 – 2004 = 15; the player is U15 for the 2018-19 season

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.
