NOTICE REGARDING CHANGE TO RECREATION AGE DIVISIONS
3rd grade and above

(Note: Older 2nd graders born in 2016 may play in the 2nd grade Rec division, but parents may also choose to enroll that child in the U10 Rec division (below) or tryout for U9 Travel Teams)

For many years, our age divisions in Recreation Soccer were based on the child's grade in school. As enrollment numbers in the older age groups became an issue in Glastonbury and surrounding towns, the neighboring towns in our area partnered together to offer games in an informal intertown rec league. Glastonbury maintained a school grade-based division, but the other towns mirrored the birth year-based parameters from travel league divisions.

As our Rec teams traveled to other towns to play intertown games, we found ourselves often mismatched in ages due to the school grade divisions versus age based divisions.   In February 2024, the Board of Directors approved a change to the Recreation Program age divisions.  This change would go into effect for the Fall 2024 season and apply to 3rd graders and above. Kindergarten through 2nd grade would remain the same.

Children born in 2016 or earlier would be eligible to play in the newly configured age divisions for the Fall 2024 season.
