Q: What happened to eAYSO website and registration?

A: National AYSO has decided to retire the eAYSO registration process on their website.  eAYSO will be available for a little while longer, but it is destined to be phased out when the bluesombrero website becomes fully functional.  A couple of advantages of using this website are 1) No longer need to come to a live registration like in the past.  2) Registration can all be done online including payment.

Q: I just finished Registering my child, what is next?

A: Your registration application will be processed, coaches identified and trained, teams formed, uniforms ordered and a game schedule made.  Once all of this takes place, expect a call from your child’s coach in the month before games start.  Practices will be 2 a week for children in U8 and above, once a week for U6, and no practices for U5 Jamboree, games will be Saturday mornings/afternoons.  Location and dates will be provided by your coach.  Game uniforms (Jersey, shorts and socks) will be provided to you, however, you will need to purchase shinguards, soccer cleats and a soccer ball.  Soccer balls come in different sizes, so please use the chart below to purchase one:

U5 – U8: Number 3 soccer ball

U10-U12: Number 4 soccer ball

U14-U19: Number 5 soccer ball

Q: How long are the soccer games?

A: Depends on the age group. All ages play two halves, with quarter breaks. U5 and U6 have 10-minute halves, U8 has 20-minute halves, U10 goes 25 minutes, U12 goes 30 minutes, U14 goes 35 minutes, U16 goes 40 minutes and U19 goes 45 minutes.

Q: How is Region 119 Run?

A: The region is an all volunteer, community run organization.  It is run by a board, with a regional commissioner in charge.  Other board positions are Treasurer, Registrar, Secretary, Field Manager, Equipment Manager, Child and Volunteer Protection Advocate (CPVA), Referee Administrator, Coach Administrator and an Age Group Coordinator (AGC) for each division (U5 through U16, boys and girls).  AGC’s coordinate to find volunteer coaches for the teams, and the teams provide volunteers to referee games.  By running the AYSO regions with all volunteers, we can keep the costs of operation at a minimum, provide good training, challenging games, opportunity for children to develop soccer skills and an overall soccer learning experience for all involved. Players who have their parents involved do better. They pass on their soccer game experience to their children later in life. The region runs smoothly when parents help and volunteers for needed positions are fulfilled. When parents don’t help the going gets very rough.  WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!  You can help the region in many ways. If you are interested please contact us!

Q: What Age Group will my child play in?

A: AYSO Region 119 follows AYSO National Guidelines for assigning players to Age Groups.  See the Player Age Group Chart on the TAB.
