If your child was either 4 years old or between 14 and 18 years old on 7/31/2010, then they still can be registered. Please pre-register your child and then send an email to commissioner@ayso-cr.org for further registration instructions.

VOLUNTEERS OPPORTUNITIES
AYSO relies on parents to volunteer as coaches and referees. Your children benefit from your support and participation to make it happen. You are invited to volunteer! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! We will provide a training course and manual to help you get started. Other areas need volunteers, too!

LEARN MORE ABOUT SOCCER SHOES, SHIN GUARDS, BALL SIZES, and other soccer "know-how" at registration.

We strongly encourage online pre-registration through eAYSO for new as well as for returning players. Online pre-registration through eAYSO will greatly speedup the registration process. To get that started, go to www.eayso.org. When done, print out two copies of the registration form to sign and bring those to registration. This applies to both players and volunteers, so please register yourself for the Fall 2010/Spring 2011 season as well.

Registration Priority

One of the basic principles of AYSO is "everyone plays". Our goal is to ensure that we can place every child on a team, but the reality is that we only have as many teams as we have adult volunteers to be coaches and referees. If we do not have enough adult volunteers, children will be placed on teams in the following order of priority.
  1. Children of active AYSO volunteers (e.g.: coaches, referees, board members)
  2. Returning players registered on May 8 or May 15, 2010
  3. New players registered via eAYSO, who took their printed registration forms and payment to the registration tent on May 8 or May 15, 2010.
  4. New players registered manually on May 8 or May 15, 2010.
  5. Players registered on June 19 or June 22, 2010.
  6. Players on the waiting list (registering through eAYSO only).

Steps to get your child pre-registered online via eAYSO:

eAYSO
  1. Go to the eAYSO website.
  2. Follow the on screen instructions for Parents.
  3. Enter Region "1112".
  4. When entering Child Information, enter applicable Location Code and Uniform Size. (Uniforms will be ordered in a complete set of one size only. No mixing of sizes.)
  5. When done, print out two copies of the registration form to sign and bring those to registration.
  6. THANK YOU for contributing to a speedier registration process!
