2025 Program Information
This U7-U10 Pre-Competitive Program is a bridge for our recreational players as they transition into competitive soccer. This Pre-Comp program is a coed pool of players born from 2015-2019 that train and play together with a competitive coach. When kids are ready for a comp team we will move them over to a comp team, or form a team from this pool of players.
This program provides a competitive level of instruction for Under 7-10 Boys & Girls (2019-2015). This program is designed to introduce and develop the individual player's technical skills with the ball and to grow their desire to play soccer competitively on a team.
This program will provide a quality soccer education by a competitive coach in a setting that promotes creativity, discovery, and encourages players to try new things without the fear of mistakes. This group of players will have soccer 2-3 days a week as opposed to 1 day a week in the recreational league. There will be some weeks with less soccer and it's ok if you miss some weeks or days.

Prorates
If you are not playing soccer for the entire year then you are responsible for filling out the AYSC Prorate Form at the time of your registration. You will pay the non-refundable $350 registration fee and then you will pay the monthly amount for the months that you will be participating in soccer. If you join the program mid-year then you will pay $350 for your 1st month then $168/month each month you play. If you join mid-season you DO NOT need to fill out a prorate form, only if you plan on taking a few months off mid-year. If a player decides to leave a team before the end of 2025, no refunds are issued. If you know you are only participating for select months make sure to let the office know at the time of registration.
Uniforms
Our kits are ordered from Tursi Soccer. All Players will need to order kits and we will use these kits through the end of 2026. We will then get new kits in January 2027 to use for the next 2 years.
