Registration Instructions

Returning Registration - If you registered your child to play AYSO soccer last year, then you have a Blue Sombrero master account. Click on the Login button on the website home page. Once logged in, click on each child to begin registering them for the Fall program of your choice. A list of programs by year of birth are outlined below. If you are having problems or forget what you did last year, then read through the Blue Sombrero Online Registration Instructions located by clicking: HERE. Here are the highlights:

First Time - If this is the first time you have registered for AYSO soccer, then you should know that there are several steps you will be performing. Start by clicking on the large "Register Now" button in the upper right corner of the www.AYSO144.org website home page.

The best source is the Blue Sombrero Online Registration Instructions located by clicking: HERE. Here are the highlights:

• The first step is to create a master account. It is one master account per family where all players and volunteers will be managed.
• The second step is to create user accounts for spouses, partners or guardians. Each one will have access to the master account and use their login to manage their volunteer roles.
• The third step is to add each child to the master account.
• The next step is to register each child for a specific program. The programs you will see depend upon the year your child was born. In general:
  • 2016 => Playground program
  • 2015 => Schoolyard program
  • 2014, 2013, or 2012 => Fall & Winter 2019 Core 6U & 8U Jamboree-style Program (new; see page under Programs HERE)
  • 2010/11 => Fall 2019 Core program - 10U division & Fall 2018 Extra program for competitive players (tryouts)
  • 2009/08 => Fall 2019 Core program - 12U division & Fall 2018 Extra program for competitive players (tryouts)
  • 2007/06 => Fall 2019 Core program - 14U division & Fall 2018 Extra program for competitive players (tryouts)
  • 2005/04 => Fall 2019 16U Coach Select program => players register for coach evaluations and are invited to the team
  • 2003/02/01 => Fall 2018 19U Coach Select program => players register for coach evaluations and are invited to the team
• Lastly, you need to check out and pay for your child's program. If you are registering for the Fall Extra tryouts or Coach Select evaluations, then you won't be able to check out. You will be able to checkout for these tryout/evaluation programs AFTER you receive & accept an invitation (via email) to join the team.

Refund Policy Acknowledgement

Registration Wait List Explanation

You might encounter two different situations when you register your child: 1. Registration is open and you can complete their registration; or, 2. Your child is placed on a Wait List. This process is designed to ensure your child can be placed on a team before we accept your registration payment. In summary:

1. Registration is open for the first team and then all players are placed on the Wait List once the first team's registration is full.
2. The goal is to make sure we have a volunteer Head Coach for a team BEFORE we allow you to complete registration.
3. You want to get your child on the Wait List as soon as you can. If a volunteer agrees to be the Head Coach of the next team, then we invite the first players to be placed on the wait list to register for the team.
4. The best way to guarantee your child's place on a team is to volunteer to be their team's Head Coach.
5. We have no way of predicting if or when your child will receive an invitation to register and placed on a team because it depends entirely on someone agreeing to volunteer to Head Coach a team and where your child is on the Wait List.
6. You will receive an email invitation to register your child if or when they make it off the Wait List.

The goals of this process are to make sure we accept your child's registration and only form teams when we know we have a quality, qualified, and certified volunteer Head Coach for each team.

Want to guarantee your child plays by becoming a Head Coach? Contact Hong, the Regional Coach Administrator, at [email protected] with instructions on to volunteer and get trained to become an AYSO Head Coach.

Please contact Brian Foster, the Regional Commissioner, at [email protected] if this registration wait list process does not make sense.

Instructions if you are new to AYSO Region 144

If you have never registered with AYSO Region 144, then start by clicking on the green Register Now button in the upper right corner. You will need to complete several steps to complete your child's/children's registrations:

• The first step is setting up your master account. You will use this master account to manage all aspects of your participation in AYSO Region 144.
• The second step is to set you and other people who will be users of the master account. For example, one parent might coach a team and another parent might be the team manager. Each parent volunteer must be setup as a separate user in the master account.
• The third step is to set up each child. If your child is new to AYSO Region 144, then please send a copy of a government issued document (birth certificate or passport) to the registrar at [email protected] so we can verify their date of birth.
• Next, you will register each child in a program. In most cases, you will be given only one program option. If, however, your child was born between 2005 and 2010, then you will see both the '2018 Fall Core' and '2018 Fall Extra' programs. Everyone should be selecting the Core program. The only time you will want to select the 'Extra' program is if you are registering your child for the Extra team tryouts.
• Once you select the program, you will need to complete several steps before your child's registration is complete:
  • The first one is to complete the eSignature. You will need to click on the application twice: once to eSign the application and once to submit the eSigned application. Both of these actions are located at the bottom of the page. Make sure you scroll down and complete each of these two steps.
  • The next step is to place your child's order into the cart. You can complete the program ordering process for each child before going to the checkout and paying your registration.
  • Complete registration by going to the checkout once you have added all of your children's orders to the cart. Registration is complete when payment is made.
