AYSO CORE 6U-19U is our main recreational soccer program where Everyone Plays! It is the foundation where kids build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of the game. Open to all players with balanced teams, trained volunteer coaches, and a focus on safe, fair, and fun play, and age-appropriate development. Players are placed on teams based on birthdate; view the age determination info HERE..

AYSO KICKSTART is an entry-level Jamboree-style program designed for players ages 3.5 up to 5. It serves as an introduction to the sport, focusing on creating a "pressure-free" environment where young players can develop basic coordination and a love for the game through play-centered activities. Some parent participation. Learn more about Kickstart HERE. 

AYSO EPIC (Everyone Plays In our Community) is AYSO’s inclusive soccer program for athletes with disabilities (ages 4+). With extra support from volunteer buddies, every player gets a full team experience, uniforms, games, and the joy of being part of the AYSO family in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

WAIT LISTS - Registration does not "close", but will move to WAIT LIST as a division reaches capacity based on how many volunteer coaches are signing up. There is no fee to sign up on the wait list, but you must register and check out thru PlayMetrics to be on the wait list.
If you end up on the wait list and want to be a head coach, please email [email protected] after you sign up.

Players will be activated from the wait list based on the needs of the division (e.g. maintaining balanced teams, filling volunteer roles, etc.), regardless of when they joined the wait list. Once activated, you will receive an email from Sports Connect and must complete registration (payment and age verification, if not already verified) within 48 hours.


CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS
Please visit our Refunds page for details.


AYSO IS ALL VOLUNTEER - SIGN UP EARLY!
• It takes all of us to make the season safe, fair, and fun for our players. In order to achieve that, every team is required to have a minimum number of volunteers, depending on the division.
• The main team roles required are Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, Referee.
• These volunteers are required to register, complete a background check, fingerprinting, online trainings, SafeSport, and role-specific training for coaches and referees.
• If you already know you're ready to step up and support your player's team, you can sign up when you register your player. Please note that although there is an option to "sign up someone else" (like another parent), please DO NOT do that if that person doesn't already have an existing account. It's best if each volunteer logs into his/her own account to register as a volunteer. Visit the Volunteer page for more information and how to sign up.

PLAYER REQUEST POLICY
One of AYSO's six core philosophies is "Balanced Teams" - balancing teams happens in all divisions of our Core program. We do allow for some player requests based on team volunteer roles in certain divisions. Review the Region's Player Request Policy for details.
