Core Program
AYSO Region 172 Core program is designed to allow kids ages 5 to 18 years old a chance to play soccer on fair and balanced teams with all players provided a guaranteed amount of playing time in every game. It is also a great chance for parents to volunteer and help support their kids.
- Players must wear shin guards during practices and games.
- Cleats are not required but highly recommended.
- If they would like to bring their own ball, please make sure it's the correct size
- 6U / 8U: Size 3 ball
- 10U / 12U: Size 4 ball
- 14U and Up: Size 5 ball
Although it is our desire to include every child who wishes to play soccer, as a practical matter registration is only available on a first come, first served basis. Many factors can contribute to limiting registration within any division, including but not limited to the number of volunteers and availability of practice fields. Once a division has been filled, a waiting list is created from which players may be placed on a team if another player drops or additional coaches are secured.
In an attempt to balance teams correctly, we cannot accept requests for your child to be with specific coaches, or children to be placed on same teams as other children. Only the coach's own children, and siblings within the same division are guaranteed to be on same team.
