When determining the age group for the seasonal year, the year the season ends
should be used for determining the birth year.
Also note that the format “U followed by age” really means that age and younger.
For example, U8 should be read as 8 and younger. For the purposes of calculation,
it is the second year of a split-year competitive season which determines what number
should be used to calculate age group. Example: 2023/2024 – U8 = 2016 birth year.
