The AYSO Extra program is a competitive soccer league that runs from late August through late May. It is meant for the most dedicated and skilled group of players in our region. The Extra program is designed to provide a higher level of competition for those players who possess the appropriate skills, abilities, drive and commitment . Players that participate in Extra are expected to regard their commitment as their top priority amongst their extra curricular activities.
This program is designed to enhance each player's experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit, organization and six philosophies of AYSO: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams (balanced through competitive bracketing), Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, and Player Development.
