Beginning this season, age divisions in youth sports will be determined by each player’s age as of January 1 of the current year rather than September 1. This adjustment brings Austin Parks and Recreation’s guidelines in line with University Interscholastic League (UIL) standards.
“Starting this season, Austin Parks and Recreation is updating its youth sports age divisions to align with the University Interscholastic League, or UIL. This means that players’ ages as of January 1 of the current year will now determine their age group placement. This change replaces the previous September 1 cutoff date.”
