What Region do I belong in?

There are three regions that serve the San Marcos, Escondido, Carlsbad and La Costa areas. You don’t ‘belong’ to any particular region. The decision is up to you, the parent, to decide which region you would like your child to play in. There are a number of factors to consider when making your decision: convenience, cost, size of region, where your child’s friends play. There are probably others as well. The other two regions are Region 127 and Region 1282.

Can I request that my child be on the same team as another child?

For divisions U6 and below , team mate requests are accepted and maybe considered. For the request to be considered, it must be a mutual request between 2 players; i.e. Player A must request Player B and Player B must request Player A. During registration you will be able to make this request.

For U10 and up, no requests will be considered. “Balanced Teams” is one of the 6 Basic Philosophies of AYSO and as such takes precedence over any team request.

Can I request a coach for my child?

Requests for coaches will not be considered. All coaches will have opportunities to receive training specific to the age group that they are coaching. Please allow everyone to put into practice what they have learned. You might consider being a coach yourself.

Can my child play up or down a division?

AYSO is a National organization that determines the player divisions based on birthdates. The AYSO "year" runs from August 1st through July 31st. Many children are in "different" divisions than their school classmates. We encourage you to view this as a positive experience - it will allow your child to broaden his/her relationships outside of school and enjoy making new friends. There are rare exceptions that a child will be allowed to be play up a division.

My child is involved in many activities, can she be placed on team that practices on Wednesdays? That is her only free day.

Players are assigned to teams before coaches select practice fields or create practice schedules. Due to volunteer coaches’ scheduling difficulties and team balancing issues, we cannot guarantee a specific practice day. Games will primarily be played on Saturdays, though there could be an occasional week day game. An AYSO core philosophy is, “Everyone Plays”. If your child will consistently have to miss practices and/or games, please think carefully about whether AYSO is right for your child at this time.
