Division Update for 2026-2027 Season

Beginning with the 2026–2027 seasonal year, U.S. Youth Soccer (USYS) and New Mexico Youth Soccer Association (NMYSA) are transitioning from a birth year registration system and returning to a school year registration structure. This change is intended to better align players with their classmates and school peers, helping keep teams and friend groups together. Under the new structure, age groups will be determined by a player’s school grade year rather than calendar birth year. The registration system will automatically assign your player to the appropriate division based on birth year, so there is nothing additional needed on your part.

If you have questions about which division your player will be in for the fall season, please refer to the follow age matrix:

​

The Roswell Youth Soccer Association (the “Association”) is a nonprofit organization that relies on volunteer coaches and participants. All coaches, volunteers, players, and other participants act in an individual capacity unless expressly authorized in writing by the Association. Any statements, representations, communications, or conduct by such individuals—whether verbal, written, or online—are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions of the Association.

​

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, including New Mexico law, the Association disclaims responsibility for any unauthorized acts, omissions, statements, commitments, or representations made by coaches, volunteers, or participants. This includes, but is not limited to, matters involving instruction, supervision, safety, medical guidance, transportation, financial commitments, or communications with third parties.

​

Nothing stated or done by any coach, volunteer, or participant shall be construed as creating any contractual obligation, waiver of rights, or binding commitment on behalf of the Association unless expressly approved in writing by an authorized representative of the Association.

​

While volunteers may receive certain legal protections when acting in good faith and within the scope of authorized duties, such protections do not extend to conduct that is outside assigned responsibilities or that involves reckless, willful, or intentional misconduct. Further, under applicable law, the Association may still be subject to claims arising from the acts or omissions of individuals acting on its behalf.

​

Participation in Association activities is voluntary. Participants and their parents or guardians acknowledge and assume responsibility for their own decisions and actions. The Association disclaims liability to the fullest extent permitted by law for any injury, loss, or damages arising from the acts or omissions of coaches, volunteers, or participants that are outside the scope of officially sanctioned duties, policies, and programs.
