What is the Winter League?
Winter League stresses skills and fun for players in the 6U through 19U age groups. This program is run by Region 9 and has no advancements to other levels. The number and size of teams we field will depend on the amount of adult support we receive.
This is a fun league for all skill levels.
What is the Registration Fee?
The fee is $85 per player. Players will receive game jersey, shorts, and socks. There is an additional $20 fee for any players who were not in AYSO during the Fall 2021 season.
Location:
All games and practices will be held at the Conejo Creek South soccer fields in Thousand Oaks on the southeast corner of the 23 freeway and Janss Road.
Players:
Children that played during the regular Fall 2021 Season will be placed in the same age grouping. Players joining for the first time will be placed based on their calendar year age. There will be no “playing up” or “playing down” into different divisions, so PLEASE do not ask for special requests as they will not be honored. We will only build the number of teams for which we have enough volunteer coaches.
Teams:
Teams will be formed in December. The list of Team Coaches will be posted at the bottom of this page. Players should be hearing from their coach shortly after teams are formed.
***Note*** Team numbers have the letter “W” as the 3rd character (e.g. 06WB01, 10WG02, 18WC01). When you search for your Team in the Game or Referee schedules, please keep this in mind. Do not search for or select Team numbers containing the letter “U”; these were Fall 2021 teams.
Game and Referee Schedules
Winter League 2021 Game Schedules and Referee Scheduling will be posted by late December. The schedules will be searchable by Team # (remember that Winter League Team numbers have the letter “W”), by Division, by date. etc.
Player Uniforms
Winter League player uniforms will be distributed on (date, time, location tba)
Are the fields Open or Closed?
The quickest way to determine if fields are open or closed (for games or for practices) is to check the CRPD Field Conditions web page. There is a mobile-friendly version. And there is also a phone number you can call (805) 381-1236, although you may get a busy signal if everyone is trying to get through at the same time.
Coaches:
Coaches are selected based upon prior experience, interest, ability, and prior completion of AYSO training and/or certification and support of the AYSO philosophy.
Referees:
Each team will be required to provide one (1) referee.
