Spring League Registration Now Open for 05U through 14U
After almost a year off, Region 17 will be having a spring season. The main objective is to get the kids playing out on the field with their friends. We are planning for an 8 to 10 week season beginning April 10 or 17. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis due to field space limitations and depending on the number of coaches available. Registration will close on March 26th. At this time, we only have access to Washington Elementary field, Adams field will not be available until the Middle Schools return to the classroom.
The Region Fee for the spring season is $80. AYSO charges an additional non-refundable Membership Fee of $20.00 each Membership Year (8/1 - 7/31) - if you did not register for the Fall 2020 season you will need to pay this fee as part of Spring registration. Sports Connect (previously Blue Sombrero) charges a $2.75 service fee on each transaction. There are no scholarships available for the spring season. Questions about registering should be emailed to asstregistrar@ayso17.org. Questions about payments should be emailed to treasurer@ayso17.org.
Because there are still several unknowns, the format for the spring season could be different than past seasons. Our goal is for the 08U and above divisions to play games with other regions as we have done in prior years. If that is not an option, then our teams will scrimmage or play games within our region. 05U and 06U divisions will only play within our region. As of now we are unable to offer a program for 16U/19U.
If you can coach, referee, or would like to join the board, we need the help! Coaches and referees will be essential to a successful spring season. Board members are always needed and we have several positions available, including division commissioners and field monitors. For returning volunteers, ‘Sudden Cardiac Arrest’ is a new course which you will have to take in order to resume your volunteer activities.
A Sports Connect (previously Blue Sombrero) account is needed to register for AYSO. You can create a new account here or access your existing account here.
