The 'U' stands for 'Under'. The soccer age system is based on the age of the child on July 31, 2010. If they are 9, they would play U10.
If they are 12 on that day, they would play U13, even if Aug 1 was their birthday. A child whose birthday is June 15, 2002 would qualify as U10 (see chart below)..
