Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (FAQ)

What does this U and Number mean ?  (ie.  U05, U06, U08)
This is a code that we use in AYSO to indicate the "age-assignment" to a division.   The U means "Under" and the number is the age limit / cutoff.   So for example U05 means, players assigned to this division are 4 years old or younger.   

What are the AYSO age brackets?

We have U05, U06, U08, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U19.

What days are games?
Region 183 plays its primary program on Saturdays.

What times are games?
Historically, Region 183 starts play at 9:00am and ends at 4:00pm.    Each team plays one game on Saturdays.

Where do you play games?
Region 183 hosts games at Peterson Park and Hollywood Park.     

When and where are team practices?

Your volunteer coach will determine the times and location for team practices.

Typically when and where do most team hold practices?
Region 183 has a park permit for our teams to have team practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the season at Peterson Park North Fields from 4:00pm-7:00pm

Where is Peterson Park North Field?
The Peterson Park North Field is the half of the park that runs along Peterson Ave. (@ Central Park and Peterson Ave intersections).

Where is Peterson Park South Field?
The Peterson Park South Fields is the actual large field that is next to the Fieldhouse and Tennis Courts.  

What fields are at Hollywood Park ?
On Saturdays, we have fields for U05, U06 and U08 games.

Who will be the assigned coach ?
In mid-to-late August,  we will be sending out postcards with your player's assigned volunteer coach phone number and team number.    In addition, we will be contacting the coaches and informing them of their team assignments.  

Why do you have team numbers and not team names?
Region 183 uses team numbers for managing the schedules and coordination.    We ask that you remember the team number assignment.   We have lots of teams in our region and having names makes it hard with regards to our standard practices.

How come my child knows the team name?
Either the coach or players decided to name the team.   However our staff will not know the team name if asked.

I don't know the coach name?
There is a very small percentage of parents who need to spend some more time knowing at least the name of the coach and or the team number.   This will help at least with regards to finding the field or game on Saturdays.   We want our kids to play soccer and not spending time looking for the team !

What is Soccer Fest ?
At the end of every season, the last week of the Spring Schedule is Soccer Fest.   This event is located back at the Peterson Park South Fields.   Teams will be playing 2 mini-games.  In addition to the games, we have trophy distribution.
