How are players placed onto teams in the Foundation Soccer program? That depends on the year of birth of the players.  It is not longer divided by grade.

Ages 5 to 10 (Foundation)
Players are placed by school, school group, or school region (see chart below) depending on the number of head coaches that are available from each school, school group, or school region. EUSA tries to keep players from the same school together, but this may not be possible if there are not enough head coaches to make this happen. In such cases, players can be placed onto a team from the same school group, or school region.

Late registrations are placed on available open team slots. EUSA cannot guarantee that your child will be placed on a team with their school, school group, or school region if you register late.
