16U/19U As AYSO players get older, many join leagues or high school soccer teams looking for more soccer experience. AYSO’s 16/19U Program gives your teenage athletes continued experience with the same competitive play. The program is organized under the rules and bylaws of AYSO philosophies and policies, but with a few adjustments to make it more enjoyable and accessible for teenagers.
The 16/19U program is different than the standard program in a few ways: our team is coed & there are more flexible guidelines for player substitution as well as offering more games after your athlete's high school season has ended.
In the 16/19U program, like the rest of AYSO, coaches and referees are involved on a volunteer basis. And because the program is less formal and players participate in organizing play, games and practices can be set up to accommodate school and work schedules.
Our program is designed to work with your high school soccer program. We make sure that there are NO MHSAA rules broken by playing for this team. If your athlete is playing for their high school soccer team then they will not be able to play on our team until their season is finished. We make sure that your athlete has the best of both worlds.
