What’s the Board doing?

Immediately after the last registration date, your Region Board begins the process of putting the teams together for the upcoming season. When this is completed, the uniforms will be ordered and the coaches will be notified.

When do the coaches get their teams?

Coaches should expect to receive their team rosters after August 1st.

When do the players get called?

Teams may begin practice on or after August 15th. The coaches will call the players usually from early to mid-August. They will give you all the information you will need in regards to practice times and location. Each coach sets his/her own practice days, time and location. The practice fields are Palos West, Palmer Park, and Community Park.

It’s after Aug 15th.   and my child has not been called. What do I do?

Please do not panic if you see teams practicing and your child has not been called. Not all teams begin practice at the same time.  Some coaches may be out of town. If your child has not been called by August 14^th, you may send a message to [email protected]

What else does my child need?

The registration fee includes: complete uniform (jersey, shorts, socks) supplemental accident insurance, team and individual pictures.

In addition, you may need to obtain shoes, shin guards, a soccer ball (size depends on age) and a water bottle.

How often are practices and games?

Practices are held once a week (field and times to be determined by your child’s coach). Games will be on Saturdays with the first game on August 27^th.  The time will either be between either 4 - 5:30 PM or 5:30 - 7 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Fridays.    The practice fields are Palos West, Palmer Park, and Community Park. Games will be held at Palos West.

Refund?
Players withdrawing prior to May 15th will be issued a full refund.  June 19^th is the last day for a $50 refund.  All requests for a refund must be submitted in writing.

Late registration?

Late registration begins after our last registration on June 19^th.  Applicants will be placed on a Waiting List and will be contacted if a team roster spot becomes available. 

Please Remember…

AYSO is a parent-based volunteer organization established to provide a positive experience for our children. Go to the games. Learn the rules. Above all, be tolerant of the children’s coaches and referees’ mistakes and weaknesses.
