CJSL Player Placement Tool

The CJSL Player Placement Tool is designed to help clubs determine the correct age group placement for players using the official U.S. Youth Soccer (USYS) Age Group Matrix.

By entering a player’s name, date of birth, and gender, the tool will automatically:

• Assign the appropriate age group based on the selected season

• Separate players by Boys and Girls

• Sort players alphabetically within each group

• Display player counts per age group

This tool is especially helpful during tryouts, roster planning, seasonal transitions, and verifying player placement under the updated USYS age formation guidelines.
