Our Fall season runs from August through November. Many coaches have practices twice a week for their team but some opt to have a single practice a week, (days and times are determined by each coach). Actual games are every Saturday. Our home games are held at Taft Elementary School.
In AYSO, Everyone Plays, so your child will play at least half of the game whether he/she has never played before or he/she is an experienced player.
The need for referees and referee points
After regular Fall Season AREA "Q" begins "AREA" Playoffs. This is considered extra play as a reward for 10U -14U teams that earned 100% of the required referee points for the region. Points are given to each referee participant of a team and are required to enter the play-off season. They are acquired by parents and/or siblings that complete AYSO referee training and volunteering as referees for other teams and divisions. Each team will be required to have 10 referee points in order to qualify for playoffs.
An invitation to AREA Playoffs will only be given to teams who have earned their team points. If there is more than 1 team in your division, invitation will be given to the 1st place team within the region as long as they have earned all their referee points. If the first place team fails to earn the necessary referee points, the invitation will be given to the second place team, again, if they have acquired the necessary points.
Point system consists of earning at least 10 referee points a season (per team) to take your team to AREA Q playoffs.
