Hello Winter 2 Youth Soccer Coaches,

2025 Winter 2 Youth Soccer Schedule

Just like last session there will be a 4 team playoff for all of the divisions at the end of the season. The brackets with anticipated game days and times will be released by the second week of the season.

Sorry for the delay in the release of the schedule. I did my best to accommodate everyone's requests and tried to get it right the first time so hopefully only minimal changes need to be made.

Please review your schedule to ensure you have 8 games scheduled and communicate your game days and times with your team. If you have any questions or conerns please email me at csunseri@riverfrontsports.com. Thank you for participating in our league and we look forward to kicking off the season on Thursday!

Best Regards,

Hello Winter 2 Youth Soccer Coaches,

I have been notified that the USA Soccer Age Matrix does not switch over until August of each year, so my previous email was incorrect. We would be using the 2024-2025 bracket, so age groupings would be as follows:

U10 = Born in 2015 or later
U12 = Born in 2013 or later
U14 = Born in 2011 or later

I apologize for any confusion.

Best Regards,

Hello Winter 2 Youth Soccer Coaches,

As we prepare to kick off our Winter 2 season next week I wanted to send an email with a couple reminders.

First, please take a moment to review our age guidelines for the divisions. We use the USA Soccer Age Matrix. I have attached this matrix to this email and it can also be found on the Riverfront app under the documents section under the 2025 Winter 2 Youth Soccer League. When using that matrix we are in the 2025-2026 bracket which reads as follows:

U10 = Born in 2016 or later
U12 = Born in 2014 or later
U14 = Born in 2012 or later

Having your team and players play in the correct division helps us keep the competitive balance in our league and also helps to prevent injuries. I do not want to kick teams or individual players out of the league for not following the age requirements but I will have to if their is blatant disregard for the rules.

Second, the goal of our soccer league and the point of having multiple divisions, is to give all teams the opportunity to play competitive games and improve as a team.

The goal of these offseason leagues is help your teams and players improve their skills, not to win a championship. Winnings games 15-0 does not help the winning or losing team. Please use your best discretion when placing your team in divisions, typically they should be as follows but of course there are exceptions:

Recreational = community teams and co-ed teams
Competitive = travel soccer clubs, all-star teams, teams containing multiple travel players

If you signed your team up for the incorrect age division or would like to switch your division to fit your teams skill set please send me an email and I can make the adjustment. We appreciate everyones participation in our league and we look forward to kicking off the Winter 2 season.

I'm hoping release the first draft of the schedule by this Thursday, so please keep an eye out for that email!

Best Regards,
