Fall Play
The Fall Play program is the main focus of AYSO Soccer, and the fall season runs
from September - November. All other programs
such as Winter Play and Spring Play are additional and only available to players
who have participated in the Fall Play Program. The Fall Play program is
competitive; however, it doesn't lose track of the fact that it's all
about having fun. During the fall season AYSO Region 84 services
approximately 3,000 players on 300 teams. Hosting this
many players and teams requires a lot of volunteers. Each team has a
registered volunteer coach who is age appropiate certified. This
certification is provided to the coach at no cost. Each of these teams
participate in a twelve or thirteen game regular season. This requires a lot of
certified Referee volunteers. In addition this program is completely
organized by a volunteer board. As you can imagine, running the program smoothly requires a lot of team work.
Registration for the fall season takes place in the spring with the first
registration date being referred to as the Early Bird
registration. All players registering at the Early Bird registration
receive a discount with a family maximum. To receive the discount, you
must register in person.
