The league provides shorts, jersey, and socks. NOTE: Soccer cleats are not required, however, shin guards are required and MUST be worn during all practices and games!

8. My uniform was too big last year, what can I do?
   Uniforms are ordered in bulk by age not size. You own the uniform so alter it the best you can.
9. Where does AYSO get all of the great volunteers?
   From You! We are all volunteers. AYSO national bylaws do not allow for paid administrators, coaches, and referees. A volunteer is someone who believes that people make a difference and is willing to prove it. Volunteers strengthen AYSO by giving their time and energy, their ideas and ideals. Many of our coaches and referees have played very little soccer if any at all. If parents will volunteer, the AYSO program provides training and resources to help them and their children to have a memorable experience.
10. Who will be responsible for refereeing games?
    Since AYSO is an all volunteer organization, we pride ourselves on having parents and other volunteers referee the games. So that we have an adequate number of referees, we will require that each team in the U8 division and up supply one parent that can participate as referee. In addition we welcome any player (10 years and older) to join our team of referees. Parent Referees will be scheduled so they do not have to referee their children’s games. The coaches of the U6 games will referee their own games.
