St. Croix AYSO Registration and General FAQs

How do I register my child to play AYSO Soccer?
Go to:

When is Registration? (Click Registration link for exact dates for current season and more details)
Official Registration usually happens the last two days of the Spring season, one during the summer and one at the start of the fall season.  But we take registrations throughout the year as long as we have room on teams in that age group.

What does the registration fee cover?
The registration fee covers the whole year of soccer (2-ten week sessions), a uniform (a jersey, shorts, socks and shin guard), players’ insurance, the National Fee to AYSO, training supplies for coaches and referees, and SoccerNow magazine.

What else does my child need?
You need to obtain shoes (cleats) and a water bottle.  Players are not’t allowed to play with regular tennis shoes.  Only cleats are allowed.

How much is the registration fee? $95 / $50 KinderKickers. However, Late Registration (Fall of new season) fee goes to $125 per player (U5 and up)

Will you take a credit card?
At this time, we are not set up to take credit cards.  We do take cash, checks and money orders.  We can work out a payment plan to fit your budget.  Scholarships (full or partial) are available for those qualifying families.

What is KinderKickers?
Kinderkickers is an unofficial program for children ages 3 and 4.  A parent must remain and be involved at all practices.  There is no insurance for this age group.

Definitely.  Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer.  Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.

What do the five AYSO philosophies mean?
AYSO's five philosophies separate us from the pack: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, & Good Sportsmanship.

Everyone Plays

Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer-so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least half of every game.

Balanced Teams

Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible-because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.

Open Registration

Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.

Positive Coaching

Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.

Good Sportsmanship

We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.

Please Remember…..
AYSO is a parent-based volunteer organization established to provide a positive experience for our children.  Go to the games.  Learn the rules.  Above all, be tolerant of the children’s coaches and referees mistakes and weaknesses.
