Online Registration Instructions (Updated 2/10/2020)
Online Player Registration for the 2020 Fall Season will be available starting March 19th.
Please make sure that your Participant/Player's first and last name, gender, and date of birth are correct on the Add New Participant web page before you click the Continue button. Once you click that button, you cannot make any correction.
Whether you are brand new to AYSO or have been participating for years (as a parent or as a volunteer ... or both) EVERYONE must Create a New Account the first time you use this new system.
Please read all instructions below to learn how to register your son or daughter as a Player, and how to register yourself as a Volunteer.

DO NOT LEAVE THE PLAYER REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR EACH PLAYER UNTIL YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO AT LEAST STEP 8 BELOW FOR EVERY PLAYER YOU WISH TO REGISTER.
