THE AGE QUALIFICATION RULE

Leagues and cups are organised geographically in the five MJCA Areas at Under 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 age groups and nearly all conclude with a County wide Knock-out Championship. The age qualification is Under 9, 10 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 at midnight on 31st August prior to the season of the competition. A player who fulfils the age qualification for more than one competition is entitled to play in any matches for which he qualifies.

On occasions, clubs have contravened this rule. It is hoped that the table below will give added clarification as MJCA do not wish this practise to be repeated.

Players may play above their own age level but not below. This means, for example, that an Under-11 may play at Under-13, but not at Under-10.

UNDER 9 Born between 1st September 2011 and midnight on 31st August 2012. School Year 4 and younger.

UNDER 10 Born between 1st September 2010 and midnight on 31st August 2011. School Year 5 and younger.

UNDER 11 Born between 1st September 2009 and midnight on 31st August 2010. School Year 6 and younger.

UNDER 12 Born between 1st September 2008 and midnight on 31st August 2009. School Year 7 and younger.

UNDER 13 Born between 1st September 2007 and midnight on 31st August 2008. School Year 8 and younger.

Girls, up to 17 years of age, may play in boys matches in a team 1 year below their own chronological age group.

This does not apply to the U/13 and U/15 boy’s cups, where girls can only play in their own age groups
