Full-coverage shoes are required, and it is advisable to use shoes designed specifically for soccer. A limited number of balls will be supplied, but it is ideal for every child to have their own soccer ball for practicing and playing on their own. Regions also provide field equipment, such as goals, nets and flags. Welcome to AYSO!
Your coaches will contact you with all the information you will need to get started, including practice times and location. Teams may begin practice weeks before the official start of season. Not all teams begin practice at the same time. If your child has not been called, please check your AYSO Region website or contact the administrator.

Thank you so much for being a part of AYSO! Youths may participate in games and practices while wearing medical alert bracelets. It is important that this information remains visible. However, to ensure the bracelet does not present a danger to the player or other players it must be secured to the player with tape, a cloth wristband or something equivalent taking care to leave the information visible.
We must all recognize that if the bracelet is removed and lost or hidden in any way, the child might be put in danger, particularly if the parents are not present to ensure that the medical condition is known.
We must also recognize that it is unlikely that a medical alert bracelet, when properly covered, will pose a danger to the other players. Medical alert sports bands with a snug fitting soft, polyester ribbon band are available and should be permitted without modification. Removable casts are designed to facilitate personal hygiene and dressing; they are not meant to be removed so that a player may engage in contact sports.
The difference between casts or splints and knee braces is that a cast or splint is used for the treatment of a temporary injury to provide for healing. Knee braces are designed to allow for flexibility of movement, while conversely, a cast or splint is designed to restrict mobility. If the device is needed to restrict mobility, protect an injury or support proper alignment to expedite the healing process of a temporary injury and is hard cast, splint, etc.
If, on the other hand, the protective device is used to provide support, flexibility or enable an otherwise healthy player to function normally such as a knee brace, prosthesis, hearing aid, insulin pump, etc.
Players who require prescription glasses are to be allowed to wear them during practices and games. For the greatest safety, retaining straps should be worn or rubber bands may be used for this purpose. Prescription goggles, such as the type used by racquetball players, are also permitted subject to the approval of the Referee prior to the start of the match.
Spectacle guards made of plastic or other hard material are not permitted. AYSO does not prohibit the use of mouth guards. Players wearing mouth guards should not be prevented from participating in practice or games. Jewelry, including earrings, of any kind worn in any visible body piercing or any hard replacement stud used when the jewelry is not being worn must be removed before the player is allowed to participate in a practice or game. Covering the jewelry or hard replacement stud with tape, padding or bandage is not sufficient; the jewelry or hard replacement stud must be removed before playing.
Subject to approval of the Referee, various soft, flexible materials that present no danger to the player or other players may be used to keep recent body piercings open for participation during games. In the case of visible taped-over or bandaged suspected piercings, Referees must not ask players to lift or remove articles of clothing or bandages.
It is acceptable however, to ask a player if the tape or bandages is covering an earring. The Referee must accept the answer provided, regardless of suspicion and if in the opinion of the Referee, the item is deemed to be dangerous, the player will not be allowed to participate on that day.
Coaches have the responsibility of not allowing players wearing jewelry to participate in practices or games. Coaches and Referees are role models and should avoid wearing jewelry, earrings and hard replacement studs during practices or games. Players are generally not permitted to wear hats, but items used to secure hair such as sweatbands, bandanas, scarves, etc. Players may be allowed to wear soft hats or caps without hard brims if the weather is inclement. Goalkeepers may wear a soft brimmed hat or cap.
In addition to the above requirements the brim must also be made of a soft material and must be approved by the Referee. Please see our full list of positions, we are urgently looking for help with Referee Scheduling, Division Coordinators, and many more that can be done from hom.
