''This article is about the effects of an individual player's age in the rules. For the process that occurs at the aging deadline, see Aging.''

Every player in the pro game appears in the draft at age -1, and immediately after being drafted becomes an age 0 rookie. Every player's age increases by 1 at each aging deadline (immediately after the draft). A players age affects the rules in only three areas: the aging matrix, injuries, and penalties for rookies.
