The Hopkins AYSO season runs for 6 weeks in the fall and 6 weeks in the spring.  In the fall, first games are typically scheduled the first Saturday after Labor Day.  In the spring, first games are typically scheduled the second Saturday of April.  The games continue for 6 consecutive weeks.  Our U5, U6, U8, U10, U12 Boys/Girls Divisions play BOTH fall and spring seasons.  The U14 Boys and U18 Boys Divisions play SPRING ONLY.  The U14 Girls (if there is enough interest) will play FALL ONLY.

*Note: We currently don’t have enough girls registered to make a U14 or U18 girls team.  If your daughter is interested in playing U14 or U18, please register your daughter to play (she will be added to the waitlist).  If there is enough interest, we'd love to field a team!  Please contact the registrar, with any questions ([email protected]).Registration is open all year, but players are placed on a Wait List after the Fall Registration Deadline.

Please visit our Facebook Page for the most recent updates and information.  Any players registered after the Fall Registration Deadline will be placed on a Wait List.  The Wait List will be reviewed before the start of the Spring season, and players may be activated and assigned to a team at that time (if there are spaces available).  Parents will not have to pay the registration fee until their child is "activated" in the system and assigned to a team.  Please contact our Registrar, [email protected] with any questions.

Age Divisions

We have teams for children as young as 4 years old and as old as 18 years old.

Practices

Practices are scheduled by your child’s individual coach.  All of our coaches are volunteers, and they are given the ability to choose a day/time/location for practices that works for their own work/home schedule.  All practices are held on the various fields located within Hopkins parks and churches. The U5, U6, U8, and U10 divisions practice once a week at Hopkins North Park (or another local location as determined by your child's coach).  The U5 and U6 divisions typically practice for 45 minutes, and the U8 and U10 divisions practice for an hour.  The U12, U14, and U18 divisions have 2 practices per week (typically an hour each).  All practices are held in the evening Monday through Friday.  Your child’s coach will provide parents with a practice schedule.

Games
The U5 through U10 division games are held on Saturdays at Hopkins North Park.  The U5 through U10 divisions will have 1 game per week.  U5 through U10 games will be held between 9a and 11:30a.  The U12, U14, and U18 games are also typically held on Saturdays, but can also (rarely) be held on weekday evenings.  Your child's coach will provide a game schedule before your first game.

Hopkins AYSO follows the FIFA, AYSO, and Hopkins AYSO rules for the games.
