📝 Understanding How Registration Works – AYSO Region 676

AYSO Region 676 offers a 12-week soccer program/season, split into two sessions:

• 6 weeks in the Fall
  
  

• 6 weeks in the Spring (continuation of the same season)
  
  🔁 Fall always begins a new 12-week program – We do NOT open new registration in the Spring.
  
  

⚽ What About “Playground”?

• Playground is designed as a separate 6-week session (Fall or Spring).
  
  

• When you register for Playground, you are signing up for one session at a time.
  
  

• Kids sometimes age out between Fall and Spring, so registering for both up front isn’t always ideal.
  
  

  • (Example: A child may be too old for Playground by Spring and ready for 5U.)
    
    

💲 2025–2026 Program Fees

Due to increased costs (uniforms, equipment, lawn & well maintenance, parking lot upkeep, line painting services, and national fee increases), the cost for the Fall 2025–Spring 2026 Season is:

• $150 per player + $25 AYSO National Fee (non-refundable)
  
  Applies whether you register for:
  
  

  • Fall ONLY
    
    

  • BOTH Fall & Spring
    
    

  • Spring ONLY (must register during the regular registration period)
    
    

⚠️ If you register for BOTH Fall & Spring and later choose not to participate in Spring, no refund will be issued.

Playground Fees:

• $125 per 6-week session (Fall OR Spring)
  
  

🔁 Staying on the Same Team for Spring?

If your child plays in the Fall and you want them to continue in Spring on the same team, we can usually make that happen — just let us know before the Fall season ends.

📅 Missed Fall? Want to Join in Spring?

Even if your child didn’t play in Fall but wants to join in Spring:

• You MUST register during the main registration window, usually in May, even if you’re unsure.
  
  

• It’s better to register and request a refund (before the deadline) than to wait and risk being placed on the waitlist.
  
  

✅ Getting Off the Waitlist

If you miss the registration deadline:

• Your child will be placed on a waitlist.
  
  

• We often pull from this list if Fall-only players don’t return for Spring.
  
  

• Want to improve your chances?
  
  Volunteer to HEAD COACH your child’s team!
  
  (Parents, grandparents, adult siblings, aunts, uncles — all can help.)
  
  

📌 Note: We must form teams in pairs so they have other teams to play against.

❗ PLEASE REMEMBER:

We are a 100% volunteer-run program. Without volunteers, kids cannot play.

If you want your child to play, we need YOU to help make it happen!
