Fall Registration is Open!

I hope everyone enjoyed the Spring Season. We tried a couple of new items this Spring and we couldn't have had the success without all your support. We had a pre-season of games and training with Division 4 and Division 3 to help balance the teams a bit more for the regular season. We did a playoff/postseason with a new format for Division 3, which we have never done before in the Spring. We provided outside professional coaching training from Illinois Youth Soccer for our coaches. We are constantly trying for improvements to continue to support the soccer needs of our community. We had approximately 700 participant playing soccer last Spring. That's incredible!Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

AYSO is run by volunteers, and so if you are interested in pitching in, many hands make light work and we could use some more help. Reachout to any board member (Contact email addresses can be found on the website).
