Open Recreation Program

The Open Recreation program is targeted for kids of all experience levels, including ones that have never played soccer before. This program does not require any tryouts, so everybody is placed on a team as long as there is room. Games are played on Saturdays between other teams from Region 64 as well as some other local teams (for 8U Division and up) from the South Bay in our Area (www.ayso2j.org). Game times vary each weekend and are usually some time between 9am - 3pm for 8U Divisions and above. For 8U Divisions and up, once the weekday practice schedule is determined (usually about a week or two before the season starts), they will remain the same throughout the season, unless a practice needs to be moved or canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Practice Schedule Requests

When you register, you are asked what days (Mon-Fri) your child is available to practice during the week (for age groups 8U and above). We try and match your child to a team that meets your schedule to the extent possible, but this is NOT guaranteed. Your player's team and schedule details will be posted about a week before the start of the season and can be viewed by logging in to your account at www.ayso64.org and clicking on your player's team page.

NOTE: Practice schedules will not be known until a week before the start of the season and are dependent on volunteer coach schedules and field availability. If you register shortly before, or after the season starts, it will take a few days after you register to determine your schedule.

Teammate Requests

When you register, you have the option of requesting to be on the same team as one of your player's friends (aka Teammate Request). In order for a teammate request to be considered, it must be double-sided in that each player must request the other player (first and last name) as their teammate request. You can only request one teammate per player. Note that teammate requests are NOT GUARANTEED because there are many factors involved when putting together teams (e.g. coach's schedule, field availability, balancing teams, etc.). Priority will be given to registered volunteers (head coaches, referees, 8U officials, assistant coaches, team managers) who have signed up and completed all requisite training and certifications prior to the start of the season.

AYSO Philosophies

This program follows the six philosophies set by the National AYSO organization:
  • Everyone Plays - We have no tryouts. Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer, so every player on every team will play at least 50% of every game. In Region 64, we strive for 75% playing time for each player.
  • Balanced Teams - Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it's more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
  • Open Registration - The Open Recreation program is open to all children who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
  • Positive Coaching - Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.
  • Good Sportsmanship - We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
  • Player Development - We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
