Other Questions

Below are the answers to the most asked questions. If you have additional questions or can’t find an answer, please contact us.

• Can my son/daughter play up an age group?

  You may request to have your child play up one age group. However, you must first register in your correct age group. Once you have registered please send an email to the Registrar at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the reasons for your requests. If you have a coach that wants your child to play up on their team, please have the coach do the same.

  We will consider play up requests providing that the coach agrees and that there is room in the age group. Should the age group be full, we will not bump an age appropriate player from that group by forcing them to play up themselves. It is extremely important that you register on time in order to be considered for a play up request. Especially in our younger age groups, we fill up very quickly.

  Our standard refund policy still applies. If we are unable to grant your play up request, please note that you will not be granted a partial or full refund (depending upon the timing of the request) if we are able to place your child on another team in either age group.

  Age groups are determined by the California Youth Soccer Association and not by Montclair Soccer or The Jack London Youth Soccer League.

  Play up requests are not accepted for U5 or U6 players.

• How are Recreational teams formed?
  Teams are formed under the oversight of the Age Group Coordinators.
• What does the “U” mean in U6, U8, U10 etc.?

  The ‘U” stands for “under”. Players under the age of 6 play at the U6 level. Those under the age of 8 play at the U8 level and so on.
