Welcome to AYSO Region 399! We are an all volunteer organization providing a Fall-Spring soccer program for children from pre-K through high 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 be using paid trainers to run practices for our U7 through U19 age groups. 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

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