Our local EXTRA program is considered a “Side-by-Side” program, meaning that if you participate in EXTRA, you may not play on an AYSO recreational team at the same time.   Our EXTRA program is administered at the AREA level with a gaming circuit that includes AYSO AREA’s K, L and Q.  (Huntington Beach to San Clemente).
​

The benefits of the Extra program include:

- Advanced competition of play amongst teams in Orange County

- Lower cost compared to Club programs ( Registration fees include referee fees)

- Coaching certification equivalent to Club

- Fall and Spring season of play 

- Winter and Summer arena soccer 

- Coaching and team continuity

- Tournaments, camps, and clinics

- Local neighborhood/community field use
