Program Options for 2022

Our programs are based on birth year. The Southern Minnesota Soccer League operates on an every-other-year age grouping basis. In other words, one year will have U12, U14, U16 and U18 teams, and the next year will have U11, U13, U15, U17 and U19 teams. The plan is to always have a U10 competitive option, despite it being an even or odd age year.

For the 2022 spring and summer seasons, the following programs are available:

• 2018: U4 In-House
• 2017: U6 In-House
• 2016: U6 In-House
• 2015: U8 In-House
• 2014: U8 In-House or Academy (family choice)
• 2013: Academy
• 2012: Academy or U10 Traveling (family choice)
• 2011 and 2010: U12 Traveling
• 2009 and 2008: U14 Traveling
• 2007 and 2006: U16 Traveling
• 2005 and 2004: U18 Traveling

Player Path

The graphic at right shows how players can move through Northfield Soccer Association programs. This path includes family choice at the U8 and U10 levels, where players can determine when to enter and leave the Academy. For traveling teams, we sometimes need to combine age groups and/or hold player evaluations to make appropriate placements.
