Coaching a Pride Team:

Application Due date for Coaching a Pride Team is: October 30th

AYSO requires that coaches be certified for the age they are coaching. 14U requires
an Intermediate cert and 16U requires an Advanced certification.
If interested in coaching a Tournament Team, please: download, complete, and follow instructions to submit
your application to Prescott Pride Soccer, PO Box 11452 Prescott, AZ 86304 or email to
[email protected]. The Prescott AYSO Board will consider all coach
applications.

Eligible Players
Players in 8U & under are not eligible to form any tournament teams per AYSO
National Rule and Regulations. To be eligible to try-out for a Pride team, players should
have played the AYSO primary season for region 172. Under special circumstances
there are exceptions for players who have not played in the primary season. Contact
the Regional Coach Administrator for more information.


Fundraising
Prescott AYSO does not raise funds, as a Region, for Pride Teams. Each team is encouraged to
fundraise to help pay for extra equipment, team events, and to help get costs lower.
Simple fundraising can lower your per player costs by as much as $200, and
aggressive Team fundraising and/or Team sponsors can pay for the season. All
Fundraising events must be submitted and approved by the Regional Commissioner.

Tournaments
The tournament teams, in multiple age divisions, compete in AYSO and club
tournaments normally from January to May. AYSO and club tournaments are typically
two (2) day events with most games occurring on Saturdays and Sundays. Most of our Tournament Teams will play in 4-6 tournaments during the season.
