Registration Listing

Core 2025-2026

Our Core Program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement and learning that happens on the fields. AYSO is best known for our Core Program – it’s where the large majority of kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime. Our Core Program runs Fall 2025 thru Spring 2026.

There are six core values – or what we call AYSO’s Six Philosophies – that are the foundation of our Core Program, and all others: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development. These are the essence of AYSO and it all starts with Everyone Plays.

Here in AYSO, Everyone Plays means that no kid spends their soccer experience sitting on the bench. Every kid plays at least half of every game.

Also, teams are put together in a way that makes playing soccer about the experience, not wins or losses. It’s not about blowing out another team with an unbelievable score. It’s about sportsmanship and learning to be the best possible team mate and opponent. Developing players is what we’re about, because soccer skills and life skills go hand in hand. AYSO’s main purpose is to get kids on the field, provide them with good coaches, and teach them to play soccer.

BIRTH YEARS 2014-2017 - IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PLAYING EXTRA - DO NOT SIGN UP FOR CORE! EXTRA REGISTRATION WILL BE DONE THRU THE AREA FOR 2025-2026. ( ayso9r.org ) IF YOU ARE NOT PLACED ON A TEAM AFTER TRYOUTS, YOU CAN COME BACK HERE AND REGISTER FOR CORE (WE WILL OPEN THE EARLY-BIRD DISCOUNT BACK UP FOR A SHORT TIME FOLLOWING EXTRA TRYOUTS).

AYSO runs on volunteer power! This means registered volunteers run the local AYSO programs... from the board, to the referees to the coaches... everyone is a volunteer donating their time to make AYSO successful and accessible for the families in our community. Because of this - we need YOU! What better way to invest in your child's passion for soccer and in the community you live in?

We are in need of growing our volunteer base in our Syracuse AYSO Region. Would you consider helping to make a difference this year? We are looking for coaches of all ages (no experience or knowledge necessary - we have all the training tools!), referees for all ages (also no experience necessary!), as well as board members... these positions range from very involved (Assistant Regional Commissioner), to behind the scenes (Treasurer, Secretary), to supporting coaches and inputting schedules in the computer (Division Coordinators). If you'd like to be involved, and avoid the non-volunteer fee, please sign up! If you are not sure what capacity you'd be best for - just select "BOARD MEMBER" and we will reach out to you with more info and find the best fit for you. Don't be shy... we all started somewhere! But if you choose not to volunteer during registration, then change your mind later on, the non-volunteer fee cannot be refunded after registration is paid.
