Welcome to AYSO Region 399! We are an all volunteer organization providing a Fall-Spring soccer program for children from pre-K through middle school - the largest soccer program in Elmhurst! Participation is open to all and your child is guaranteed a spot on a team if you register by June 1st.

We will continue using paid trainers to run practices for all of our age groups, so teams will be assigned a practice time and coaches will work with their individual teams under the guidance of a trainer. This helps the kids develop their skills and helps our volunteer parents in running a practice.

Our goal is to help kids develop soccer skills while fostering a love of the game and we do so by following AYSO's Six Philosophies:

• Everyone Plays - all players will play at least half of every game they attend regardless of their skills or whether they are able to attend practice
• Balanced Teams - we try to balance the teams before the season starts but if games end up lopsided, coaches should work together to balance things out
• Positive Coaching - coaches offer encouragement and positive comments
• Good Sportsmanship - all teams should play fair and be good sports
• Open Registration - if you register before June 1st, you will be guaranteed a spot on a team
• Player Development - we want all players to develop throughout their time in AYSO

While we will aim to schedule all games on Saturdays, depending on the number of fields AYSO is allotted by the Elmhurst Park District, some games may be scheduled on Friday evenings or Sundays. The Fall 2025 portion of the season will run for 8 weeks between August and October and the Spring 2026 portion of the season will run for 8 weeks starting in mid-April. Your fee pays for all 16 weeks.

**No refunds will be given for cancellations after June 15th**

Your child will be eligible for the division based on their birthday and registration was set up to correspond to grade level (i.e. birthdays from September 1st through August 31st of the following year are in one division).

**If your child's birthdate does not correspond with their grade, register for the division available based on the birthdate and then email Janice Castillo ([email protected]) with that information and we will move your child to the correct division so they can play with their actual grade level.**
