The Developmental program is for young players and their parents are introduced to the beautiful and simple game of soccer in a pressure free setting. Participants are exposed to soccer by playing simple, fun activities that require little to no practice, and a minimal time commitment.

Format

Sessions are 50 minutes on Saturday mornings during the season using the Parent with Player concept where each player will have a parent (or other adult guardian) on the field to partner with during the session. You and your child would be practicing with other preschool players in groups of no more than 24 with one Head Coach. Your participation is required to assist your child, other children and the coach. The program is designed to teach you both. You will learn many fun activities to practice skill building with your child at home during the week.

NOTE: This adult is not a volunteer, but a participant in the program along with the player.

Signing Up

New players can sign up at the new player registration in the spring and many times during late registration before the season begins in the fall. Sign up for the Schoolyard Jamboree program is the same process (apply online) as for any other AYSO core program. Current AYSO participants are given the opportunity to sign up for the next year during the Spring AYSO season. In this way, parents with older AYSO players can register their children at this time.

Volunteering

Every child must be represented by an adult guardian that will be on the field with him/her. This adult is not a volunteer, but a participant in the program along with the player. This can be any adult that can be present with the child on Saturday's and may be more than one adult.

NOTICE: volunteer registration is not required for parents in this program.

Frequently Asked Questions - Developmental Program

Wait List?

We use wait lists as a method to check and verify that we have openings for your player before you pay. We allocate players every week, but often do placements in bulk a month before the season starts. You will get an email once you are allocated along with instructions on how to pay. We cannot guarantee placement, but we work hard to get as many players playing as possible, sometimes even building new teams weeks before the season.

 

Payment Information

How Much?

Developmental programs include the cost of the program ($30), the yearly membership to AYSO ($25), and the Sports Connect per-transaction fee ($2.75). Total is $57.75. Other programs will have different costs shown in Sports Connect.
Scholarships would reduce the total price by $20, see section below.

Cash or Check?

Everything can be paid by Credit Card online in Sports Connect, they charge $2.75 per transaction. In rare circumstances we accept payment by cash or check, please email the registrar if you need that accommodation (contact).

Scholarship?

You register/apply the same as everyone else, when asked about eligibility for a scholarship during registration, check yes. Register (here). You should see a question... "My family and this player is approved for free and reduced meals, SNAP, or TANF. My family can provide proof when requested and authorize AYSO to verify my approval/enrollment. If I cannot provide proof when requested, I understand I will be charged the full player registration fee." after checking yes, your fee would be reduced, and you can finish the application online.

Application Times

When is Registration?

We run a member year, the member year is exactly the same as a school year (Aug-Jul).

Three types of registrations:
  • Open Application in May registers for both Fall and Spring.
    • Includes at least two registration events. This registration time allows us plenty of time to work on placement requests and get uniforms for all players.
  • Limited Application in August for School Year and in February for just Spring.
    • This registration is only to fill vacancies on teams. In some circumstances, we will add new teams. This registration time has no guarantees, i.e. we will not be able to fulfill special placement requests or special orders for uniforms will not arrive until late in the season.
  • Deadline Application before first game.
    • This registration is only to fill a team NEED, and it is usually conducted with the instruction of team formation. This registration time has no guarantees, and could result in adjusted costs because we can not get uniforms for the player.
