Registration Guidelines for 2008-2009

Registration Dates

Registration Fees

Registration fees are $90 for the first player from a family, $85 for the second player, and $80 for each additional player from a family. The fee covers fall and spring and includes the uniform (shirt/shorts/socks). There is an additional $5 discount for each child if registration is submitted by August 15.

Registration is open to all children born between August 1, 1989 and August 1, 2004.

You may register in one of the following four ways:

  1. Come to one of the registration sessions that we will have in July and August.  Exact times and dates listed above.
  2. Pick up a blank form at Dick's Sports, at 21st & Rock..
  3. Download a Registration Form (requires free Adobe® Acrobat Reader).   You still must mail the form in to the address below.
    4. We also do not have a fax machine so you can't fax it either.
  4. Register on-line, at www.eayso.org and then print off the registration.

Whether you do option 2, 3, or 4, we still need for you to mail the form and money to us.  You will not be able to e-mail the form to us because (1) we still need your fees because we do not accept credit cards, and (2) the National office requires a signature on the form.  If you are registering late, Option 4 is the quickest way for us to get your child into the system and placed onto a team.

Mail the completed form(s) to the address below with your check payable to AYSO Region 49 for the appropriate amount.

AYSO Region 49
P. O. Box 21384
Wichita, KS 67208-7384

Please share the fun and tell your friends and neighbors about these dates. We are planning to form teams August 15. While we will register players any time after the deadline, in order to insure a spot on a team reasonably close to your home, you should register by then.

Team Assignments

All players registering by August 15th will be assigned to a team. Team formation and balancing will be based on the registrations received as of this date. Registrations received after August 15th are not guaranteed a team assignment. IF space is available, registrations will be added to an existing team. The logistics of starting a new season requires time for a few volunteers to recruit 100 coaches, balance 100 team rosters, prepare fields and develop schedules. 

Volunteers

Volunteers will be needed at the pavilion to help with the registration process. If you are interested in helping, please call 686-AYSO and leave your name and number.

Coaches

Any one planning to coach next year will need to fill out a blue volunteer form and sign it. If you are already a coach or a registered volunteer a preprinted form is available for you to sign.

Registration Form

A few things to keep in mind when registering a child for next season:

1 -Insurance

Check the insurance information and make sure the current doctor's name and phone number is listed. Have you changed your insurance carrier?

2 - Schools

Indicate the school that your child will be attending next fall. If you are unsure which school your child will be attending, please make your best guess. You may call the AYSO phone number (686-AYSO) in the summer to correct the information.

3 - Player Requests

You may request to play with another player. Write this request on the line 'brother or sister on same team'. Player requests greatly increase the complexity of team balancing - as this is done manually and not by the computer. These guidelines will allow your player request to be considered at the time of team balancing:


3.1 No request is guaranteed. A balanced team is one of our philosophies.
3.2 The player request is on a proper registration form and proper fees are paid by August 15th.
3.3 Only one request will be considered. No second or alternatives arc permitted. A brother or a sister is a request. You may request a brother or a friend, but not both.
3.4 Players must be the same age group.
3.5 Players must cross-reference each other on their registration form, e.g.: Tom requests Joe, Joe requests Tom.
3.6 You may not request a coach. All coaches and assistant coaches automatically have their child assigned to their team.

Too Busy to Register Now

If you are too busy to register or forget or unsure if your child will be playing AYSO soccer in the fall, forms are available at Dick's Sports at 21st and Rock. Forms must be sent with the fee to the Post Office Box noted on the form. Dick's provides the forms as a service to our AYSO families but they cannot accept the forms. All registrations and fees must be sent to the Post Office Box.

Players on High School teams

Players on high school teams cannot play for both AYSO and their high school team during the same season. Kansas State Athletic Association rules require you to inform us if your child is playing for this school. Your child's eligibility may be jeopardized if you do not follow this rule. This rule does not apply to intramural soccer.

Refund Requests

Refund requests can be made any time prior to the start of the first game of the season. Once the first game has been played, no refund will be granted. Refunds requested by August 26th can be made by phone. After August 26th, all requests must be made in writing to: AYSO Region 49, PO Box 21384, Wichita, KS 67208-7384.

Waiting List

Once teams are full a waiting list will be formed for that age group. New teams will only be formed if enough players in an age group are on the waiting list and a coach is available at least 10 days before the fall coaches meeting.

Notification

You should be called by your coach by two weeks before the start of the season for your child's team assignment. Please do not call AYSO asking for team assignments until then.
