Open registration for the Fall 2019 season for 5U-19U divisions ends July 31, 2019.  We then determine the number of teams and players per teams based on the number of players, volunteer coaches, and volunteer referees that are registered.  Registration remains open on a space-available basis until teams are full or after the second game of the season.  We strongly recommend that you register early to be assured of placement on a team.  Once our teams are full, players are placed on a waitlist.

NO! Your registration is not complete until we have received payment or approved a financial aid request. View instructions for how to complete your payment here. Your child must be completely registered (that means fully paid) before they can be placed on a team. Any child that registers after the team is full will be placed on a waitlist and will not be guaranteed to play that season, even if they pre-registered before the team was full. Please submit your payment or financial aid requests early so your child does not miss out!

In general, our region encourages all players to play within their age specific division, as recommended by national policy. We have traditionally allowed players with birthdays within three months of the date cutoff to play up at their parent's discretion and will look into how best to handle this in the future. We recommend that parents considering playing up consult with their child's previous season coach. In addition, the Regional Board reserves the right to move a player to a higher division if they believe it will improve the quality of play for all players AND the player in question is developmentally ready for the higher division both in soccer skills and maturity. Please e-mail [email protected] if you have concerns about your child's division placement.  AYSO National does not allow players to play down for any reason.

Information coming soon.

Yes, we offer limited assistance to families with financial hardships as our budget permits.  We do not want to turn away players due to lack of funding! Families must submit a financial aid request form to receive a coupon code and funds are distributed to qualified families first come, first served, so please file your request early for the best chance of gaining assistance. More information on Financial Assistance can be found here.

You can register and pay online with a credit card by clicking the link at the top of this page. If you want to pay by check or with cash, you MUST come to the July 13 onsite registration day. 

Your order should still be in your shopping cart until you finish paying.

Please, do not mail player registration forms to us!  You will be e-signing your forms online now and copies of those will be given to your coach before practices start.  No more signing forms at the first practice!

Once payment is received and your registration is complete, you will receive an e-mail confirming your registration. You can also log on to your Blue Sombrero account to see your player's status.  If you have concerns about your player's status, please send a note to [email protected] and include the player's name and date of birth.

Players do not need to submit proof of age at registration, but must be willing and able to submit proof of age at any time to the regional board if requested.

If you have never registered with AYSO before or not since before Fall 2017, you will need to create a new account under our Blue Sombrero management system.  If you have played with Region 1099 in the last couple years, you should have an account and there are instructions for resetting your password on the site. If you are having trouble, e-mail [email protected] and we can tell you your username and/or help reset your password.

We know many of you feel very strongly about having a friend on your child's team or have certain carpooling or scheduling needs.  At the same time, there is no way everybody's special request can be granted and still keep our teams balanced.  Here are the criteria we use when trying to form teams:

1. Balanced Teams!  This is one of AYSO's core philosophies and is our #1 priority!

2. Coaches and Assistant Coaches with their children.

3. Assistant coaches and team referees with their team of choice.

4. Siblings in same division on the same team.

5. Special requests for volunteer referees, coaches, and board members.

6. Special requests regarding scheduling and carpooling.

7. Special requests for preferred coach, teammate, or practice day with preference given to AYSO volunteers and families who register early.

Please note your request in the applicable fields of your online registration form.  You can update this any time in Blue Sombrero or simply email [email protected] with your child's full name and request. While we cannot honor everyone's request, we will do our best to consider them.

Blue Sombrero allows parents to indicate which days you child is available to practice - you must mark at least two days when you register.  If you have further requests, please indicate those in the appropriate space on the registration form.

Once teams are full, new registrants will be placed on a waitlist.  Wait list will no longer require payment to be made but payment will need to be made within 48hrs of notification that a space has opened up for your player in order to be placed on a team.  After that, your player will be moved to the back of the list and the next available player invited to take that spot.  If you no longer want to be on the waitlist, please email [email protected] to be taken off.  All waitlisted players who are not placed by the second game of the season, will be taken off the waitlist.

Almost all players who complete their registration during open registration should be able to be placed on a team provided we have enough coaches, referees, and players.  For players who complete their registration during our wait list period, roster positions are allocated based on the needs of the player's division. Factors that may increase the priority for one player who registers later than another are:

Team assignments, rosters, practice times, and coach contacts will be available in Blue Sombrero about a week before practice begins. Coaches will also be contacting their teams directly by e-mail and phone with their team details.  Parents are requested to contact their coach if they have not heard from them within that first week before practice begins. If you have any trouble getting in touch with your coach, please e mail [email protected]. If there is a waitlist for the division, players who do not respond to coach emails or phone calls and who have not attended any practices by the first game may be removed from the team and placed back on the waitlist to make room for a child who will be an active member of the team.

AYSO volunteers go to great lengths to form balanced teams in each division and have many factors to consider, including age and skill of players, scheduling needs, and special requests.  It is extremely difficult to change a child's team once rosters have been released to parents.

If your child absolutely cannot practice at their scheduled time, you have the following options:

Every player needs shin guards, soccer cleats, water bottle, and a soccer ball (size 3 for 5U-8U, size 4 for 10U-12U, and size 5 for 14U+). The region offers a gear swap box you can check for donated gear, which is available at registration events and at a volunteer's home in between events. E-mail [email protected] for location. The region provides jersey, shorts, and socks, which will be distributed before the first game.
