A. Yes and No. Requesting siblings to play on the same team is possible. However, a child may only play up in two age divisions never down. Therefore, they will be assigned to a team of the oldest age child. For example: If you have a U11 player and a U10 player they will be assigned to a U12 team.

Q. Can I request my child to "play-up" in a different age division?
A. Yes. A player may only play in the age division or "up" two age divisions they were assigned. For example: A U7 player may only play on a U7, U8 or U9 team. A player may NEVER play down in age divisions. These are State regulations that we can not change. A U7 player would play in the MCYSA U8 division since U9 is not offered and is not eligible to play U10. MCYSA offers recreation divisions for U6,U8,U10,U12, and U14.
