Extra Program

EXTRA PROGRAM

The EXTRA Program offers a more advanced level of competition for players who possess the appropriate skills, commitment, and abilities. The program offers soccer development opportunities similar to club soccer but maintains the core AYSO philosophies – including a guarantee that they will play at least half of every game. Players are selected through a competitive tryout process.

EXTRA Players pay the normal fall registration fee, plus additional fees for custom uniforms and specialized training.

COMMITMENT

Players selected for the EXTRA Program will commit to their teams as their priority non-school activity. It is expected that every player attends each practice and game at the agreed-upon times.

In order to satisfy the commitment required by the EXTRA Program, players may not be enrolled and participate in other non-AYSO or Club soccer programs during the EXTRA Program season.

EXTRA teams will not play other Region 56 teams during the Fall season or participate in All Stars.

There will be some travel involved, but the games are generally in Orange County.

The season starts at the same time as the Region’s Fall season and usually ends a week after the end of the regular season.
