BIRTH YEARS 2020-2021

By the high school ages of U15-U19, AFC Union will form select girl’s teams for the fall and boy’s teams for the spring.  Players generally then play for their high school teams during their non-club season.   Since for many, high school soccer will be the single highest level of organized soccer they will play, it is one of AFC Union's goals to prepare all our players, to the best of their abilities, to be successful during this age of competition, and for a select few, for ODP and/or collegiately.

There is a high level of expectation from the player by the club at U15 and above. While AFC Union does not restrict player’s participation in other sports, the competitive nature of club soccer demands that the player make a decision when conflicts arise. To be fair to teammates and the coaching staff, once a player becomes U15 they need to have made the decision that soccer is their priority. Players are expected to make training sessions, tournaments and games a priority over all other sporting interests.
