The age eligibility rules for High School Grade Boys (9th, 10th, 11th and 12th) and for Girls has not changed and those teams are formed by grade.
Below are the age guidelines for Nova 94 teams for the 2018-19 AAU Season which runs from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019. Please review carefully before you register your player to tryout for a particular team. While Nova 94 will attempt to review all tryout registrations to confirm a player complies with the age requirements of a team that he/she is trying out for, it is ultimately your responsibility to sign them up to tryout for the correct aged team.
