Within these Divisions, the U11 and U12 age groups play nine games in the 9v9 format. The U13 and U14 age groups play nine games in the 11v11 format. The U15, U16, U17, U18 and U19 age groups play nine games in the 11v11 format. The U18 and U19 age groups compete in a combined age group, playing nine games in the 11v11 format. (Please note: The U16-U17 and U18-U19 age groups might be combined if not enough quality teams register).

Placement is application-based and finalized by the CSA’s Advanced League Operations Committee. For the U11-U14 birth year divisions, this is a year-long league for most teams (Both Fall and Spring Seasons); with automatic mid-season promotion and relegation as follows:

• Bottom 3 P1 teams change places with top 3 P2 teams

• Bottom 3 P2 teams change places with top 3 P3 teams

U11 girls and boys teams are placed accordingly per empirical data collected from most recently completed Spring season using standings for U11, U12, and U13 age groups by club.

Within the Elite Division, the U11 through U17 age groups play eight games, with U11-U12 playing the 9v9 format, with all other age groups playing the 11v11 format. U18 and U19 are combined age groups, and play eight games in the 11v11 format. Team numbers in each division depends on the number of team registrations. All team placement is based on each club’s recommendation.

If Group A/B divisions need to be created for the Spring Elite division, teams will be placed by the following criteria:

• Top half finishers in Elite from the previous Fall season standings in Group A and Group B will be placed in Group A.

• Bottom half finishers in Elite from the previous Fall season standings in Group A and Group B will be placed in Group B.

• New teams registered in Elite for the Spring season will be placed in Group B

  • How this will affect future Fall season team placement consideration:

    • LOC will consider the top finisher of Elite Group A from previous Spring season for promotion, as this division is now considered to be “weighted” with the top teams in Elite. The top finisher of Elite Group B from previous Spring season may still apply for Premier 3 placement consideration, placement will depend on team application numbers and team qualifications.
