What Programs Does Camarillo AYSO Offer For Advanced Players?
Camarillo AYSO has two programs for players who are looking for a higher level of play (EXTRA and Challenge). Participation on these teams requires a higher level of commitment from the players and from the parents.
The primary benefits of these teams include: A competitive program • Affordable registration fees, especially when compared to club-affiliated teams • Top trained coaches and referees • Positive coaching • Opportunity for tournament play • Opportunity to play for the same coach and with the same teammates each year (depending on outcome of tryouts)
Camarillo Region 68 has decided to offer one premium program per birth year for both boys and girls.
EXTRA Program (birth years: 2006, 2007 and 2008)
AYSO EXTRA is designed for players who have the interest, skills, and abilities, and want to enhance their experience and individual growth through soccer, while retaining the spirit of and organization membership in AYSO. EXTRA is not designed to overshadow or harm the standard primary program, rather the goal is to strengthen AYSO by recruiting and retaining players and volunteers through providing more competitive play the AYSO way. All EXTRA programs embrace the Six Philosophies of AYSO.
Fall 2016, Region 68 EXTRA teams will be offered in birth year 2008, 2007 and 2006 for both Boys and Girls.
The tryout schedule (March/April 2016) will be posted on the EXTRA Program page.
Challenge Program (birth years: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005)
AYSO Challenge is a soccer program for the most competitive soccer players in AYSO. It offers these players the opportunity to play at a high level that fits their ambition, skill and ability, against teams in the Coast Soccer League. Challenge supports the same values and philosophies of all AYSO programs.
AYSO Challenge players will be dual registered in Cal South and AYSO. So, Challenge teams have all of the advantages of competing in a "club environment" while remaining members of the AYSO community!
Tryouts for birth years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Challenge teams are going to be held in late February/March and are open to all players.
