How do I sign my child up?

It's simple! To register your child for AYSO soccer, visit our website and click on the "Register Now" button. You'll be prompted to create an account or log in if you already have one. When creating an account, you put a little bit about yourself and then your child's information. All our programs are based on your child's DOB. Follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the registration form, select the appropriate program, and submit payment online. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our team.

  • "Core" or "AYSO" is our most popular program. This includes the Fall and Spring seasons in one registration. AYSO is best known for our core program – it’s where the large majority of kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime.
  • "Playground" or "Pre-K" is our for 3 and 4 year olds that have not yet entered school. Smaller groups and an introductory environment.
  • "EPIC" or "VIP" is our special needs 1:1 program..
  • We have winter clinics and summer camps.

With our integrated website and registration portal, create an account and you can find out the price of each program after you are logged in. Our programs are affordably and competitively priced. The cost will vary based on the time of registration (early bird, regular, late) and the season(s) you are registering for. An annual AYSO membership fee applies and will be added to your cart when you register for the first program of the membership year (school year)

How do I volunteer to help out as a coach or referee?

Volunteering is fun and easy. You will get more out of it than you put into it! Please email us immediately at [email protected] if you can spare any amount of time. Any training required is provided free of charge. We can always use your help. We need coaches, assistant coaches, division coordinators, team parents, and board members. For a description of each role, review the volunteer information on our website or the national AYSO website. AYSO is an all-volunteer program.
