EYSA has announced a reconfiguration of the Recreation League’s Upper Division for the upcoming 2023-2024 soccer seasons. These changes were made based on the number of participants, including those carried on the wait list. Girls Gold had to be dropped because of insufficient numbers, a problem the league had faced for the last three to four years. Unfortunately, this affects young ladies born 2010 and 2011.
On the Boys’ side, the extraordinary popular Silver Division will now be composed of 4th and 5th graders, with 6th graders now becoming part of the Gold Division. The Gold boys will be composed of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. 9th graders, of which there were none this current season, were dropped in order to maintain a maximum three-year player age spread.
The chart shows the configuration. (numbers refer to grade)
