COMMON Q&A

Do I need to get a new uniform?

Uniforms were changed Fall 2022. It consists of two jersey tops. The registration cost does not include the uniform cost of $25. Black shorts and blacks socks are not included but please find a way to have them for your player. 

If you purchased the uniform tops during the Fall 2022 season, then you only need to purchase more if they:
* Do not fit anymore,  
* Lost or stained
* You would like to have extra jerseys. 

Can I purchase socks or shorts?
Yes, we will have some available for purchase at our concession stand (color varies). 

How can I get involved?
We have many ways to get involved with AYSO. We have training for coaches, referees, and board members. If interested, email [email protected] for more info. If you feel you can't commit to those roles, we have several other regional options: pick up trash, bathroom upkeep, mark fields, mow fields, concession stand, or organization of storage areas. You could also help your team by bringing snacks, organizing an end of season party, or possibly a thank you card for your coach.  

When will practice start?
Practices can start as early as 3/6. Coaches should contact their team by 3/9. Wear weather-appropriate practice clothes, shin guards (required), cleats, practice ball, and water. 

When will my coach contact me? 

By 3/9/23.

When is the first day of games?
3/18/23

Why is birth year registration going into effect for all levels of play and all age groups?
Having players train and play according to their age and developmental stage supports the objectives of the small sided standards by focusing on the physiological and developmental needs of the player. This change is meant to better safeguard the development of youth players at all ages and levels.

Don't you realize that you're breaking up my existing team?
U.S. Soccer recognizes that making these changes can impact existing teams in the short-term. However, players joining and leaving teams is something that already happens regularly throughout the country. There are a variety of factors that require teams to evolve and adapt including players maturity rates, moving away, focusing on new interests or their soccer abilities differentiating from their peers. Again, both small sided standards and birth year registration support the development of the individual player as a priority over a team success.

Also, remember that AYSO balances team each season. Our current programs do not require any try outs to play and all players get to play have of each game as long as they are willing and are obeying the laws of the game.
