Prorates
If you are not playing soccer year round then you are responsible for filling out the AYSC Prorate Form at the time of your registration. You will pay the non-refundable $350 registration fee and then you will pay the monthly amount for the months that you will be participating in soccer. We can not piece out weeks within a month as all of our expenses are calculated per month or per year so if you play for 2 weeks of a month you will have to cover the expenses for that entire month. If a player decides to leave a team before the end of 2024, no refunds are issued.
Uniforms
Our kits are ordered from Tursi Soccer. All Players will need to order kits and we will use these kits through the end of 2024. We will then get new kits in January 2025 to use for the next 2 years.

CODE OF CONDUCT – AYSC has a high expectation of our parents to set a good example and help make youth soccer an enjoyable experience for all involved. Please remember this when cheering at your child’s game, we do not want parents yelling at the referees, trying to coach their kid on the field, or arguing with parents/coaches on the other team. If you have a matter to discuss with a coach please wait 24 hours prior to addressing the issue and stay calm and discuss the issue with the people involved in a mature manner. You sign a parent code of conduct when you register so make sure to read the information and follow accordingly. If you can’t follow our code of conduct you may be asked to leave AYSC.
TEAM MANAGERS – AYSC uses volunteers to help manage the team with team events, communication, and team travel. All teams are required to have at least 1 team manager. Team managers are to have good communication with coaches, parents, and club administrators. Make sure to respond to emails in a timely manner to your team manager as they are volunteering their time and do not wish to send multiple emails requesting information.
