00, 01 and 02 are birth years. 16u and 14u are age groups. For the upcoming year 99 and 00 birth years are 16u and 01/02 birth years are 14u.

That's what I was thinking but always heard it as 14u etc. Is there a cutoff of the 01 that would make them 16u?

Whatever your daughter is on January 1st, determines what age group she will be. For example; January 12, 2002, she would be considered in the 14u group but truly a 13u team. Basically, the birth date closer to January, the older and optimal age your daughter will be for the age she is looking to make an impression on.
