Recreational Soccer Fall 2024 / Spring 2025

Welcome to Rivertowns AYSO, Region 324, New York. Thank you for your interest in our recreational soccer program -- the foundation for all the fun, excitement, and learning that happens on the fields! It is where kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that last a lifetime. Please read everything so you are fully informed before you sign up.

Rivertowns AYSO recreational soccer is a weekend program that includes age-appropriate and engaging soccer activities for players from preschool through high school. In addition to devoted parent volunteers, a highlight of our program is that NYCFC Coaches provide professional training and a world-class soccer curriculum at all age levels -- complementing the efforts of the parent coaches.

IMPORTANT: THE PROGRAM IS NOT A DROP OFF: A parent or guardian must be present for each child's session. Do not sign up siblings at the same session time or overlapping session times unless a parent or guardian can be present for each child's session because the fields are not all side by side.

VOLUNTEERING: Rivertowns AYSO needs parent volunteers! It is important that we infuse our program with volunteers at each age level -- they represent and serve that community best. For more info about volunteering, visit: https://ayso.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=959583 Even if you do not take an active volunteer role, we ask that your mindset be “How can I help?”

OUR RECREATIONAL PROGRAM IS BY SCHOOL GRADE: Enter a birth year for your child that allows them to register for their school grade, even if it is not their actual birth year (you can correct the birth year after you register). This is a workaround as the system set up forces divisions to be by birth year, but we humans know school grades are not made up of a single birth year.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION BY SCHOOL GRADE: Please read about the program offering for each age level / school grade here: https://ayso.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=972336
