What are my registration fees used for ? |
|
Registration fees cover a portion of the costs of running the program, a uniform including shirt, shorts, and socks that your child keeps at the end of the season, an end of year reward (trophy or other item), and supplemental accident insurance for AYSO-sponsored activities. You must pay separately for shoes, shin guards and a soccer ball. Proper equipment is essential for safety. |
 |
When is the soccer season? |
 |
Our region runs a Fall-Spring season. We register in late April and early May for teams that will be put together in the summer. Coaches will be trained in early to mid August and can begin practicing toward the end of August. We then play 7 games in the fall (Sept-Oct), take a break through winter, and play 7 more games in the spring (Mar-Apr-May). |
|
When will the games be played? |
|
All soccer games are played on Saturdays, except in the case of a cancelled game which may need to be made up during the week. |
|
Where will the games be played? |
|
The games are played at various schools in Layton and some at Ellison Park. |
|
Where are practices held and how often? |
|
The coach can determine how often the team practices. Some teams practice twice each week, while others only practice once. The younger kids may practice only once a week. U6 does NOT practice during the week. Practices generally start between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. It is up to the coach to determine where and what time the practices occur. It is impossible to predict what time this will be in advance of the team being formed. |
|
What kind of equipment does my child need? |
|
-
Players must be in team uniform to play in games
-
Shin guards are REQUIRED equipment for all practices and games.
-
Shoes: Most players wear soccer cleated shoes but they are not required. If a player wears cleated shoes, ONLY shoes specifically designed for soccer are allowed (no baseball or football cleats). It is NOT required to stop a game if a shoe becomes untied or comes off (a frequent situation for younger players). Double knots are suggested.
-
All jewelry INCLUDING PIERCED EARRINGS must be removed during soccer play (no exceptions).
-
Bring a ball and bottle full of water to every practice.
-
Ball sizes:
-
U19/ U16 & U14: size 5;
-
U12 & U10: size 4;
-
U8 & U6: size 3.

What are the boundaries of your region? Can I join your region if I don't live there? |
|
Our basic region boundaries are the city of Layton and East Layton. However, one of the main principals of AYSO is "open registration". This means that people from any city are welcome to join Region 239. However, all of our games are played in Layton. |
Please call the Region 239 Hotline at 625-1628 if you have questions not answered
