Rec Registration Now Open!

05/02/2013 07:07 PM

AYSA Northwest provides opportunities for players of all skill levels. The goal of the Rec program is to provide a fun and rewarding atmosphere where boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 (U11 to U19) can develop soccer skills, foster friendships, stay physically fit, and have fun. Every effort will be made to find a team for every player who signs up.

Each year after registration is complete gender specific teams are created based upon the number of players and coaches who have registered.

Rec soccer teams generally begin practicing in July or August with games beginning the first Saturday after Labor day. Some teams, however, choose to play in a late summer tournament or two, in Winter indoor leagues, and Spring outdoor leagues. The specific Rec program is driven by the coach and the team, and the level at which they want to compete.

During the Summer and Fall, most Rec teams practice twice a week with one game on the weekend. Rec teams will generally be assigned grass practice fields. The season is usually ten games long. U11 teams play on ¾ size fields, with 9 a side. U12 and older play full field soccer with 11 a side.

Registration

Online registration for the AYSA Fall Recreational (REC) soccer season (U11-U18) will be available June 1, 2013. Online registration may be closed for any age group when team rosters have been filled without notice. The fees for 2012 - 2013 are $160.00. If you register before May 31, 2013 you will recieve a $10 discount for registering early. Fees include a uniform kit (jersey, shorts & socks)

Player registrations after the deadline and before the start of the season will only be accepted on a space availability basis on an age appropriate team.

Player registration does not guarantee assignment to a team roster. AYSA will attempt to assign every player who completed the registration process to teams during the months of July and August. If your player is not assigned to a roster for any reason, AYSA will promptly refund all paid fees associated with registration for that season.

Player Placement

Returning players will be placed on the same team they played with the year before, unless they request otherwise, unless that roster is already full.

New players will be assigned to teams based on available space or requests made by player/parent. We will try hard to honor all requests, however there is no guarantee that requests can be met. If there is more than one team in an age group, and they play at differing competitive levels, that may be factored into player placement.

All players who register will be placed on an age appropriate roster until maximum roster numbers are met. Maximum roster sizes are 14 at U11, and 18 at U12 through U18. Minimum roster sizes are 9 at U11, and 11 at U12 through U18.

Coaches are not allowed to select players for their team.

Based on these policies, the AYSA NW Rec Director will make final decisions on player placement.

Coach Assignments

If you are interested in coaching a team, register online and you will be contacted by the AYSA Director of Recreational Soccer. Coaching assignments will be made at the discretion of the AYSA NW Director of Recreational Soccer, who may request additional information from applicants.

League Placement

The AYSA NW Rec Director will work with the REC coaches to determine the appropriate level of play for REC teams. Final decisions on league placement will be made by the AYSA NW Rec Director and the AYSA NW Board.

Scholarships

Player scholarships will be considered on a case-by-case basis based on a demonstrated financial need. It is the goal of AYSA to provide access to our programs to eligible players regardless of financial means. You can get a scholarship application at www.auburnyouthsoccer.net, under Documents. Requests must be made by the parent/player. For additional information see the AYSA Scholarship policy.Scholarship requests are due by July 1, 2013. Upon approval, directions will be given on how to proceed with registration.

The AYSA board reserves the right to deny scholarship requests for any reason.

The AYSA board may change/revise this policy as needed.

For more information contact the Recreational Director or the Registrar

Rainier Valley Slammers

03/28/2013 01:57 PM

In 2011, we became associated with WZK, LLC, which is run by Walid and Ziad Khoury, Founders and Directors of Coaching for Slammers FC of Newport Beach, California. Slammers FC is one of the most successful and prestigious youth soccer clubs in the United States www.slammers.org. Their teams have won dozens of regional and national championships, and have sent dozens of players on to play at the collegiate and national level. This year Slammers FC were the overall club champions of the Elite Club National League – the closest thing we have to a national champion of club soccer! http://www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com/.

Walid and Ziad help train our players and our coaches. We are incorporating their highly successful curriculum and style of play in all our teams. Walid and Ziad are there for us at the national level, helping our teams and players get the attention they deserve from tournament directors and college coaches. This change is already paying dividends as evidenced by our invitation to join the Regional Club League, and by the results we are seeing on the field. We are a club on the rise!

But this transition has just begun. We are committed to bringing Walid and Ziad’s curriculum, which has been highly successful at Slammers FC, to Washington State both on and off the field. Along with Walid and Ziad, our Rainiers Valley Slammers Coaches partner with parents and players to achieve these goals, realizing that through commitment, hard work, and execution, our players "win" both on and off the playing field. Rainier Valley Slammers is committed to providing its players with a great opportunity to develop skills essential through positive growth in the sport of soccer and to leave each player with a lifelong love for the game. While developing the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological components of the game in our players, our Coaches also teach them the importance of commitment, good sportsmanship, teamwork, respect for self and others, and an ability to learn from both winning and losing. All of these components, and more, are a part of the curriculum and philosophy that Walid and Ziad bring to our Coaches and players. As Walid and Ziad have done for Slammers FC, Rainier Valley Slammers strives to be a world class soccer program through the development, progress and growth of our players.

AYSA Scholarship Program

Purpose:

Auburn Youth Soccer Association (AYSA) is a non-profit organization committed to developing and maintaining a healthy environment for both recreational and competitive youth soccer programs. We believe that all levels of soccer should be available to any player with the attitude, desire, and ability to compete regardless of financial status. It is our hope that no players opt out of soccer for financial reasons. Scholarships (financial assistance in the form of partial or full payment of the registration fees) will be available to members in need in accordance with the following guidelines and subject to the AYSA Scholarship budget.

Availability:

AYSA shall provide scholarship funds to those individuals who can demonstrate need, to the extent possible as dictated by the AYSA budget. AYSA will be limited in its ability to provide scholarship opportunities based on member participation in submitting annual player fees and success in fundraising efforts. In the event of unforeseen financial hardship or unanticipated expense, AYSA reserves the right to postpone, rescind or terminate the scholarship program for the greater good of the association and its members.

Process:

Parents of players requesting financial assistance must make the initial request for financial assistance to the AYSA Registrar by completing a Scholarship Application form by the dates listed below.
Forms must be filled out in their entirety and must provide a clear picture of need and circumstances relative to need.
The maximum amount of a scholarship award shall be determined by the Scholarship Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Scholarship recipients/parents shall agree to assist with association functions, i.e. AYSA auction, field prep, team management, team fundraising, etc.in meeting a minimum of 10 hours of service.
A majority vote of the Board of Directors shall be required for any scholarship award.

Scholarship recipients shall be notified in writing or email upon scholarship award and the amount of award shall be indicated in the notice.

AYSA reserves the right to request that scholarship recipients participate in fundraising activities at a higher than typically expected level in support of the scholarship program.
