COMMON Q&A

Do I need to get a new uniform?
If you have the AYSO Core Kit from www.soccer.com, then you do not need to purchase another one. However, you will be required to do so is if the uniform: 
* Does not fit,  
* Lost or stained
* You would like to have an extra jersey, shorts, or socks.  

Can I purchase socks or shorts?
Yes we will be selling extra shorts and socks out of the concession stand that are mostly black. These are great for practices or non-picture days.  

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?
We want all registered players to come to the fields starting 8/23. Wear practice clothes, shin guards (required), cleats, water, and enthusiasm to play! 

When will my coach contact me? 
By August 30th.

When is the first day of games?
September 4th 

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.
