Can I request that my child be on the same team as another child?
“Balanced Teams” is one of the Six Basic Philosophies of AYSO and as such takes precedence over any teammate request.
For all divisions, the following are the requirements for consideration of teammate requests:
- Only siblings can be placed on the same team. (Children having one or both parents in common. No cousins, friends, etc.)
- Siblings must be members of the same household. (Living in the same house.)
- Siblings must be in the same age division.
- Siblings must be the same gender, unless playing in the Coed division.
- Parents/guardians must both volunteer to coach the team. This requires completing a volunteer registration form at the time of player registration, and passing a background check as required by law.
Once teams are formed and practices have started, we will not move players between teams.
Can I request a coach for my child?
Requests for coaches will not be considered. All coaches will have opportunities to receive training specific to the age group that they are coaching. Please allow everyone to put into practice what they have learned. You might consider being a coach yourself.
Is my child old enough to play AYSO soccer?
Children born between the years of 2006-2019 can play AYSO soccer. See the info for parents page for details.
What division is my child in?
Divisions are based on the age of the player. See the info for parents page for details.
Can my child play up or down a division?
AYSO is a National organization that determines the player divisions based on birth years. Many children are in different divisions and/or different skill levels than their school classmates. We encourage you to view this as a positive experience, which may allow your child to broaden his/her relationships outside of school and enjoy making new friends. Our regional policy does not allow players to play outside of their age division.
My child is involved in many activities, can she be placed on team that practices on Wednesdays? That is her only free day.
Players are assigned to teams before coaches select practice fields or create practice schedules. Due to volunteer coaches’ scheduling difficulties and team balancing issues, we cannot guarantee a specific practice day. The coach determines the practice day(s). Games will primarily be played on Saturdays, though there could be an occasional week day game. An AYSO core philosophy is, “Everyone Plays”. If your child will consistently have to miss practices and/or games, please think carefully about whether AYSO is right for your child at this time. Alternately, if practicing on a particular day is very important to you, consider being the head coach of your child's team!
I don’t know anything about soccer and you want me to volunteer?
AYSO is an all-volunteer organization. There are many volunteer opportunities to be filled for the region to be a success. Details of positions that need be filled can seen here. If you have some other talent or skill not listed that you feel would help benefit the region, please let us hear from you.
