What are the six philosophies?

Everyone Plays® – Every player on every team must play at least 50 percent of every game. Spending the game on the bench is no way to learn soccer!
Balanced Teams – Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible. This allows for each player to gain experience from a wide variety of teammates and different skill levels.
Open Registration – Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
Positive Coaching – AYSO requires our coaches to create a positive experience for every player.
Good Sportsmanship – We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude.
Player Development – We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.

Why AYSO?

AYSO’s “child first” approach with age-appropriate, small-sided games makes it one of the finest athletic programs in the world. Development over winning is fundamental in AYSO.

How does AYSO protect its players and volunteers?

AYSO’s unique, dynamic programs and policies focus on protecting our entire member base. These include:

Safe Haven – The AYSO Safe Haven program was the first of its kind in youth sports, most notably in soccer. We continually strive to create a safe environment for our players and volunteers, so they can enjoy a happy and healthy soccer experience.

AYSO Certification – AYSO provides training certification for all its volunteers. Certification helps ensure every AYSO child will be treated with understanding, compassion, and respect

Kids Zone® – Kids Zone is a dynamic program targeted to eliminate negative sideline behavior. Kids Zone® buttons and signs are distributed throughout the Region and parents are asked to sign the Kids Zone® Pledge promising to behave within the guidelines of the program.

The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 – This law grants immunity from certain types of prosecution for volunteers who meet its requirements. In order to receive full protection under the law, AYSO volunteers need must:
1. be properly trained and certified;
2. be performing duties as laid out in a position description;
3. act within the scope of AYSO’s Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.

Can my special needs child enjoy soccer?

Yes! AYSO is proud to offer a very special program for children and adults with physical or mental disabilities. The AYSO EPIC program provides a safe, fun environment with trained coaches and volunteers who facilitate an enriching experience that the players and their families will cherish forever. Buddies assist during the games in which players learn soccer while meeting new friends, having fun and increasing skills and self-esteem. Please contact us at [email protected] or 800-872-2976 for more information.

What equipment do we need?

Shin guards are mandatory during practice and games. Full-coverage shoes are required, and it is advisable to use shoes designed specifically for soccer. A limited number of balls will be supplied, but it is ideal for every child to have their own soccer ball for practicing and playing on their own. Most AYSO teams play in uniforms supplied by the Region which are included in the registration fee. Regions also provide field equipment, such as goals, nets, and flags.

We've signed up! Now what?

Welcome to AYSO! Your coaches will contact you with all the information you will need to get started, including practice times and location. Teams may begin practice 2-3 weeks before the official start of season. Please don’t panic if you see teams practicing and your child has not been called! Not all teams begin practice at the same time. If your child has not been called, please check your AYSO Region website, or contact the Region administrator.
