*** SPRING PROGRAM & DIVISION DETAILS ***

SCHOOLYARD and PLAYGROUND PROGRAMS
The objective of this program is to provide beginning players and their parents with a “pressure free” introduction to the beautiful game of soccer. Players will be exposed to soccer by playing simple, fun activities and games that require little to no practice, and a minimal time commitment.

* Coaches: TBD for Playground and TBD for Schoolyard
* One session per week, Fridays for Schoolyard and Playground
* 8 Week Program
* Small co-ed groups
* 45-minute training sessions with some time for a short scrimmage


CORE DIVISION PROGRAM
Information on the 6U-19U divisions can be found at the bottom of this page: Click Here

More details about the Core Season:

• The Core season is for children ages 5 - 18
• 8-Game season 6u-12u. 10- game season 14u-19u
• Depending on final registration numbers, teams may be required to go CO-ED
• A final verdict on whether teams will be co-ed or separated will be made Jan 31, 2024 once Registration has closed.
• Important Notes for the 12U - 19U Divisions: 
  • Interleague play vs. Other Regions. These divisions will more than likely interleague with other regions which means some travel will be involved. Cities involved may include Murrieta, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Beaumont, and Perris.
  • Games can either be played on Saturdays and/or on Weekday evenings 
• We're constantly looking for volunteers who are willing to give freely of their time and talent to a worthwhile cause - our kids! Join us! During checkout, you can sign up as a volunteer coach, referee, and board member. These are non-paid positions.

*** REFUND POLICY ***

If, after following all the drop procedures, a refund is allowed, it will be applied as follows: A full refund less $25 will be given, if the player is dropped by Feb1, 2024. The $25 is a non-refundable amount charged by AYSO National for each player, credit card transaction fees, and AYSO National Volunteer Background Check fees dispersed among players.  A full refund less 50% may be granted for drop requests received between Feb1, 2024 and the first scheduled game providing that the player uniforms are returned to the coach, coordinator or registrar.  No refund will be granted after the first game.  The player drop and refund request form must be completed to receive a refund.  Fundraiser fees are nonrefundable.

Due to an increase in the National Fee in Fall 2024, the $25 non-refundable will increase to $30 in Fall 2024. 

Important New Note for the Core Season - Registration Insurance 
Registration insurance is an optional service that registrants can opt into at check-out to protect their registration fees against certain events that cause them to miss the season. 

At check-out, users registering for programs will see the insurance premium amount and will be given the option to either purchase or waive the coverage. The additional amount is 8% of the final registration fee you'll be paying. For more information visit this FAQ page. 


Please note that by Jan 31, 2024, we may not have finalized information on Coaches, team formation, or practice days/times since practices are solely at the discretion of the Head Coach's schedule. Practices tend to occur during the week, Monday through Friday, anywhere from 4pm - 8pm. Please take note of this before registering your child.
