Picture Day
October 12th, 2024 Must be there an Hour before your game, this is the only week where games will be pushed back a bit to accommodate.
UPDATED!!
Haven't got a call from an AYSO Coach yet.
Two Reasons-
1) The Board is still looking for a Coach for the team.
2) The Coach has the roster and will be calling shortly.
In the meantime, get a good soccer ball at your child's feet and get them running. If you would like to step up and Coach your child, click on the above "Coaches" tab and follow the instructions. Also email and notify Coach Admin at
[email protected] and insert your info.
PRACTICESEach player should bring the following to practice:
A ball, shin guards, cleats/shoes with traction, water, & a good attitude. Baseball and football cleats are not allowed and strictly prohibited.
Players must NOT participate in practices nor games without shin guards!!
Do NOT just drop off your child at practice. Schedule ahead to have someone stay with your child during all AYSO events.
Beware of HEAT STRESS. Know the signs and symptoms and keep your child hydrated before and after practices & games.
Ball Sizes are as follows:
Size 3 ball for age groups 8U, 6U, 5U and younger
Size 4 ball for age groups 12U & 10U.
Size 5 ball for age groups 19U, 16U, & 14U
GAME DAYSThere will be 8 games this season and tournament play for 10U, 12U, 14U teams that meet the criteria to move on.
