Soccer Maine’s
most popular league is the Fall Classic League,
which features boys and girls divisions in age groups
from U-8 through U-14.
Classic Clubs will need to affiliate for 23/24 by 7/15 and have all teams registered in the Fall Classic League by July 15th. Players should be registered in their club accounts and on their respective teams by August 1. Players can be added after this date and prior to roster freeze of August 18th for U12 through U14 teams, and September 1st for U8 through U11 teams, but rosters should be substantially complete prior to that. Teams will play in their appropriate age division, and cannot play up an age group in the Fall Classic League.
Play will begin on Sunday, August 27th for U12 through U14s, with 6 league games, and ending with preliminary playoffs on 10/21-22, followed by semi-finals on 10/29, and finals on 11/5. Play will begin on Sunday, September 10th, for U8 through U11 teams, with 6 league games, and ending with the U9/U10 & U11 Festivals on Oct. 28-29. U8 through U11 teams will have at least one Saturday playdate. If a team is part of a bracket with an uneven number of teams, they would have a bye date, and a Saturday play date.
Age Groups for 2023/24 are as follows:
U14 Birthdates between August 1, 2009 and July 31, 2010
U13 Birthdates between August 1, 2010 and July 31, 2011
