The registration system will automatically determine the correct age divisions for your player when you go to register them.  

This is an explanation of the age breakdown as described by the national AYSO website:

"AYSO changed from a school year registration to a birth year registration in order to align with other youth soccer providers and the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives.

The effective date of age determination for registration shall be the player’s age as of December 31 looking ahead of the Membership Year.  Example: For MY2023 the division the child will be placed in will be determined based on their age on December 31, 2024.

Participants who shall turn three years of age by the start of the Fall season are eligible for AYSO Playground Soccer.

To help in determining the proper age and division for players, the following chart is provided and guidelines and rules are as follows from U.S. Soccer:

After your child is registered, they will be expected to attend mandatory assessments. These assessments are not tryouts. At AYSO, we try our best to create balanced teams. In order to do that, we hold open practices that allow us to assess the skills of each player before they are placed on a team. To read more about this process, please click here.

Assessment dates are listed on our home page calendar each season. Please be sure to block off those dates to the best of your ability so that your player can attend.

One of our values here at AYSO is the creation of balanced teams. In order to do this, volunteer coaches assess each player's skill before they are placed on teams during our mandatory assessments. We then have a process by which we allocate players based on their skill level and age so that teams are as balanced as possible. Keep in mind that we may also attempt to take into account player requests for transportation reasons or other special circumstances. This can be a difficult process and does not always work out perfectly. Please keep in mind that this is a learning process for our players. They may not always be on the best team. There is no guarantee that they will win, but we hope that our values of good sportsmanship and player development create a safe and encouraging learning environment where they not only become better soccer players, but better people.

Generally, the Playground and 6U divisions do not practice during the week, their activities are held Saturday mornings;

for 8U, teams practice once a week; for 10U and above, teams practice twice a week.

Note: this can vary depending on field space availability and the schedule of the team coach.

If you have forgotten when or where your practices are being held, please contact your coach.

8U divisions and below play all their games at Manzanita Park. 10U and above typically have both home and away games that may require travel to Hollister (10U), Aromas (10U) or San Jose Area (12U and above). Please look at our Game Schedules Page for more information or contact your coach.

In age divisions 10U and above, each team has an opportunity to move on to post-season tournaments that take place after the regular season games end (usually the end of November or beginning of December). This is typically determined by their performance during the regular season. For more information, please contact your coach, or visit our Post Season Tournament Page (currently under construction).
