Frequently Asked Questions
League Registration
When do I need to register my child? February 15th is the deadline for regular registration for the Spring 2009 season. Online registration will remain open until February 25th, but the registrations are higher.
How do we register? Registration is available online. Visit the Register page to find out more info. You may also register in person at the walk-in date for spring registration, February 15th from 1:00-4:00 at the SPS Legacy center.
What age group should my child be in? Divisions are determined by the current grade level of your child. If your daughter is in second grade, choose “2nd Grade Girls” when you register.
What happened to the age-based divsions (U6,U7,U8 etc.)? Age-based divisions work well for keeping teams even, but cause problems when kids can’t play with classmates. Switching to grade level classifications should also eliminate some confusion that always causes last minute shuffling of players and simplify the team-building process for our division coordinators.
Does my child need previous soccer knowledge? No. AYSO focuses on creating teaching soccer in a fun and safe environment. We make every effort to make certain teams are balanced with kids of all skill and athletic ability. It’s also part of our requirements that every child receive equal playing time – it’s the best way to learn!
Do I pick a team to join? What if we don’t know other coaches or kids playing? You do not need to pick a team or know a coach. If you like, you may designate your child’s school or a preferred coach when you register, and we’ll make an effort to place him or her on a team with classmates.
How much does it cost? $50 per child, $130 max per family. The third child from a single household is $25. Additional children are $5 per child. If you register after February 15th you pay more, $65 per child, $40 for the second and $15 for each additional child.
What kind of payments are accepted? Visa, Mastercard, Discover, E-check and personal check are accepted.
What do I get for that fee? The registration fee provides each child with a fun, safe and fair soccer experience. As part of that experience, each player receives a uniform that they keep and they will play in at least 7 games. (Uniforms for players in the 1st Grade divisions and higher include a jersey, shorts and socks. Uniforms for players in the Pre-K and K divisions include a reversible jersey.)
What if I forgot to register my child by the February 15th cut-off date? We’re extending registration an extra week to February 25th. At that time we close registration so coordinators can finalize team rosters an distribute to coaches one week later. If you register after February 15th you wil pay more: $65 per child, $40 for the second and $15 for each additional child.
