* In class-3 play, odd age groups (e.g., U9, U11, U13) are formed if there are enough teams in the league to separate them from the teams in the even age groups (e.g., U14). Otherwise, odds and evens play in mixed groups.
 
** Abronzino (class-1),  Redwood League (class-3), and DelGado (class-3) make efforts to separate teams into Divisions 1 (stronger) and 2 (weaker). This classification is influenced by a team's previous record as well as on each coach's request.
 
***Although Abronzino permits class-1 as young as U10, most teams do not venture into class-1 play until U11.
