Players should always wear: 1. shin guards, 2. soccer socks, and 3. bring a size 3 soccer ball for (PW, U6, U8) and size 4 ball for U10 soccer, with your name clearly labeled. Don't spend lots of money on these things as they will quickly outgrow them. Target or Dick's Sports is a good place to buy shin guards and size 3 ball. 4. Cleats (or "boots" as they are called in soccer) are not necessary. Sneakers are fine, especially if this is their first time trying the sport. If they take a liking to it, then you can buy them cleats. But please note, the ground/grass could be wet from Spring rains, so cleats would be better for traction.

Players should always bring plenty of water to keep hydrated.

Age groups will be limited to a maximum 20 players per session. Wait listed players could be offered to train up in age, if spots are available.
Age groups are based on Birth Year.
Players are not permitted to train or play down in age. (ie. U8-2014 birth year play down to U6-2015)
Program will run for 6 weeks (6 sessions)
We will do our best to try and reschedule any RAIN OUT cancellations, pending trainer/field availability.
All sessions will be run by a local trainer and will be clinic based, focusing on skill and ball control development. There will be no teams, uniforms or season games.
Family Discounts do not apply for the Spring session registration.
Sessions are for new, or current Intramural players

Coaches and Volunteers

We can only field as many teams as we have coaches, team parents and administrators, so please consider volunteering your time to assist with an AYSA team this Fall.

· AYSA relies on many volunteers to support all parts of the program; in particular Coaches and Team Parents.

· There will be (1) one Head Coach per team, based on the number of players in each age bracket

· We will announce all Intramural teams by August 15th

· The number of teams we can form, will be driven by the number of players registered by August 1st, and volunteer coaches we have in place by August 10th.

AYSA policy requires all intramural coaches to provide an updated background check through EPYSA’s Risk Management Program every year. Once you are selected to coach a team we will provide you with a link to submit your background check. We believe that this program provides reasonable precautions so the AYSA can continue to provide a quality and safe experience for the children of our community

If you have any questions regarding coaching or other volunteering, please contact us at [email protected]
