Spring 2026 Soccer Update

AYSO Spring Soccer Program Announcement

Get ready for an exciting Spring season of AYSO soccer designed for players with average to above-average skills who are passionate about the game! Unlike our inclusive Fall program, the Spring season is geared toward committed athletes looking to continue developing their skills in a competitive environment.

New This Season: 6U Playing Circuit!
For the first time, we’re introducing a 6U division. Players from Fall 5U and 6U teams are eligible to participate in this two-year combination group.

* Season Duration: Mid-February to Mid-May
* Registration Fee: $100 (plus applicable service fees)
* Team Formation Begins: Mid-January
* Practice Start Week: February 9

Program Structure

Twice weekly

Game Schedule
  * 6U & 8U: Saturdays (weather permitting)

Space Is Limited!
Not all registered players are guaranteed placement. More volunteer coaches means more kids get to play! Priorities are given to:
* Fall season participants who register on time
* Families with active Fall volunteers (Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Referees, Board Members). *

Team Commitment & Selection
* Players must demonstrate strong commitment by attending most practices and games.
* Coaches may select part of their team from Fall rosters.
* Remaining spots are filled based on skill level, Fall participation, and parent involvement.

Tournaments & Playoffs
* No playoffs during the Spring season.
* Optional Spring Area Tournament available for 10U+ teams (self-funded).
* Additional post-season tournaments are available for 10U+ teams (also self-funded).
Note: Teams may not participate in tournaments during the regular Spring season.


Volunteers Needed!
We rely on volunteers to make this program possible. If you're interested in coaching, please register through your existing Sports Connect account!

Spring 2026 Registration Listing

2026 Spring Program

SPRING SOCCER

Spring Soccer is an opportunity for players to improve their skills in a more competitive environment. Unlike the fall season, a limited number of teams will be formed in each age division. Coaches in each age group will ‘select’ a portion of their players to form their team. Players who have parents who are active Coaches, Referees, or Board Members and played in the Fall will have priority for placement on teams. Unfortunately, not all players desiring to play will be chosen unless we have enough Coaches and referees.
 
The Spring Season begins in February and ends in May.
 
Spring Requirements:
* ALL players must register online for the Spring Season.
* Only those players who have registered online will be eligible to be included in the Spring Team formation process.
* Coaches will be given a listing of registered players to select and form their team from.
* If a player is selected to a team, the parent/guardian must log into the players registration account to accept the team assignment/position offered.
* Registration fees will be collected online when a team assignment is accepted.
* Failure to accept a team assignment or complete the online registration process will result in the player being dropped from the Spring Program.
* Players are expected to have a high level of commitment to their teams and need to attend practices and games.
* Parents are expected to fulfill a Spring Season Volunteer Role. (Volunteering during the Fall Season does not exempt or fulfill ones Spring volunteer requirement. Each season is independent of the other; with each season requiring volunteers.)
