Age cut off questions
Hi, all! My daughter is 9 about to turn 10 (July 2016 birthday). She is playing in rec ball right now but her coach really likes her and sees her drive and the love she is developing for the game. He invited her to come to an open practice for his travel team...it's 8u going 9u in the fall 😬
The majority of things online say she is not eligible for this team bc she will be 10 on August 31. But then I saw this age chart and got confused because it is only even number age groups, but I know most tournaments and leagues go by both usa and usssa and I thought their age rules lined up.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the 8u, 9u, 10u stuff and why some places only acknowledge 8u, 10u, 12u, etc. It's confusing to me 🫠😂
We are as new to this as can be as far as travel and all that jazz. She has only been playing for about a year and a half and has improved so much so quickly, especially once she got a good coach! She just wants to play ball, and I am trying my best to understand all of this lol
