Teams & Season Info
When does the season start and end?
Fall 2025 season runs from August 23rd to October 25. See our Key Dates section for details. This does not include 10U + Playoff tournaments. Those dates are TBD.
When will we find out what team we're on?
Teams will be announced at Meet the Coaches Day, August 16th. Schedule to be out shortly.
Can I request a teammate or coach?
We do our best to honor requests for 6U and younger. For 8U and older, teams are balanced based on age and experience to ensure fairness across the league.
Practices & Games
When are practices and games?
Practices take place on weekday evenings. Games are held on Saturdays between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Final schedules are determined by team and field availability.
Can I choose our practice days?
We cannot guarantee specific days, but we will try to accommodate coach and family availability whenever possible — especially for younger divisions.
Volunteering
Do I have to volunteer?
AYSO is a 100% volunteer-run organization. We strongly encourage each family to take on a small role — whether as a coach, referee, team parent, or field volunteer. It truly makes a difference!
I’ve never coached or reffed before. Can I still help?
Yes! We provide all the training and support you need. No experience is required, just a willingness to learn. Visit our Coach Info or Referee Info pages to learn more.
Refunds & Waitlists
What is your refund policy?
Refunds are available until uniforms are ordered. A processing fee may apply. See our Registration Info page for full details.
What if my child is placed on the waitlist?
Waitlisted players are added to teams as space allows. We will contact you if your child is moved off the waitlist and payment will only be processed if a spot becomes available.
