SPRING SEASON NEWS & INFORMATION

Spring Soccer 2021

The Spring program consists of teams from other Regions in Area 1D, including: Hermosa and Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hawthorne, and Westchester. The season is 10-weeks for boys and girls in the 8U though 19U divisions. *Also this year - We will have a 5U/6U/7U Spring Jamboree-style program. Details of the jamboree division are at the bottom of this page. The spring ages will be the same as they were in the fall. Attached is the age group guide that will apply for Spring 2021.

The Area 1D Spring league is a secondary program designed to give players additional opportunities to play soccer throughout the Spring. The primary objective is for players to have fun while they continue to develop good soccer skills and sportsmanship. Placement on a team is not guaranteed and is dependent on several factors, including the number of applicants, number of coaches, and number of teams allowed in the Area league and subject to balanced team formation.

The League will be operated in accordance with the Area 1D Spring Rules & Regulations – coaches should be familiar with these Rules & Regulations. All teams are required to be balanced in accordance with the AYSO core philosophy.

Registration Deadline

Teams are formed and games start March 7. Registration fees are $140 per player for the Spring Program. Registration closes Feb. 15th or when the maximum number per divisions is hit. If registration is closed the wait list is open. We want all kids to play but we find fields and coaches.

Registration in Sports Connect

All players must be registered in Blue Sombrero. Applicants who did not participate in an AYSO Fall program must register in Blue Sombrero and provide proof of birth date to the Registrar in the form of a birth certificate or passport. Applicants who participated in the AYSO Fall season in another Region must request to transfer from that Region into Region 92. The request must be approved by both Regional Commissioners and the Area 1D Director.

Team Formation

Divisions that have enough players to form a single team will be established with all players that have submitted an application by the deadline. Players may be added to the roster from the wait list up to the maximum roster thru Apr 1.

Divisions that have enough players to form more than one team must be balanced. For team balancing, the number of teams in the Division will be finalized by late February. All players who submitted applications by the application deadline will be considered in the player pool. When the number of applicants exceeds the maximum number of roster positions available, priority shall be given to players who participated in the Region 92 Fall program. Subsequent priority shall be based on the date the application was submitted. When coaches are needed for the Division, special consideration may be given to players whose parent or guardian will coach the team. Players who submitted applications after the deadline may be added to the player pool in the order the application was received up to the maximum allowable.

Uniforms & Equipment

A uniform will be provided for each registered player on the team. The Region will also provide an extra “blood” jersey, a limited number of soccer balls, cones, and a first aid kit to each team.
