| ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: You can help promote children's growth and positive development as an active participant in AYSO by coaching, refereeing, or working on the board. We have a good program which is child oriented. We are happy to train you. Contact us. |
|
|
|
| CHILDREN ON THE SAME TEAM: We will put brothers on the same team if they are in the same age group, and we will do the same for sisters. The only way that other children may end up on the same team is by chance during team balancing. |
|
|
|
| CONTACTING AYSO: There are three ways to contact the AYSO board: 1) Call 773-1222 and leave a message with a clear phone number. Your call will be returned. 2) Send an e-mail message to AYSO@flagsoccer.org. 3) Write to AYSO, PO Box 307, Flagstaff, AZ 86002. |

|
| GAMES: Most games are on Saturday, starting at 8 AM until they are finished. There are 9 games for 8 Saturdays, so one (or maybe two) will be on a Wednesday afternoon. The schedule is on the web when available. |
|
|
|
| PLAYER EVALUATIONS: Coaches are asked to confidentially rate their players so that this information can be used in the following season to balance teams by players' skills. |
|
|
|
| REFUNDS: If a player has to withdraw from the AYSO program, a full refund may be obtained if the player withdraws before May 1. Starting May 1, the following schedule applies. If a player has received a uniform, a refund may be obtained only if the player's uniform is returned. 1) If a U16-U19 player withdraws prior to May 17 (beginning of practice), $30 will be refunded. Through June 3, the refund will be $20. No refund will be given after June 3 (before the first game). 2) If a U6-U14 player withdraws prior to June 16, $30 will be refunded. Through June 30, the refund will be $20. No refund will be given after June 30. To get a refund, you must put your request in writing to AYSO, PO Box 307, Flagstaff, AZ 86002. |

|
| SOCCER PRACTICE: Each coach, usually a volunteer parent, will pick a place and time for practice and let you know. It will probably be in the afternoon after s/he gets off work. Younger than 8-years-old practice once a week for an hour, others twice a week. |
|
|
|
| SWITCHING TEAMS: Players are assigned to teams to balance skill levels so that all teams start the season on an equal footing. Parents are encouraged to meet the other team members. If a parent requests that a child be switched, the child will be placed on the waiting list until another position is available which will maintain team balance. |
|
|
|
| TRAVEL: Our region includes Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, and Williams. Since there are many more teams in Flagstaff, it is possible that your player may not travel. Teams from Williams and the Grand Canyon each travel several times a season. |
|
|
|
| WHICH TEAM IS MY CHILD ON: After coaches receive their rosters (in early June), they will begin calling their players. You can see what team your child is on by viewing the rosters yourself. |
