PLAYER/VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION

Fall 2008

We utilize the AYSO’s Player/Volunteer Registration System called “eAYSO”. This procedure is designed to streamline registration, reduce errors and paperwork and improve communications. This procedure still requires presentation/submission of registration forms along with payment (and proof of date of birth for first time Deerfield AYSO players) and identity verification for all volunteers.

The ON-LINE PRE-REGISTRATION procedure is fairly simple, similar to most other on line sites - hey, get your kids to help you if need to.   ;)  

Once you have completed the ON-LINE PRE-REGISTRATION procedure, you will print out and mail  one copy of each form (Player Registration and/or Volunteer Application form NOT a "screen print") to us.

Please read on for specific registration instructions.

The American Youth Soccer Organizations goal is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on our philosophies:

Everyone Plays

Every player on every team must play equal time.

 Balanced Teams

We reform teams every season to balance play. It's more

 fun when teams are of equal ability.

Open Registration

Our programs are open to all children ages 4-18.

Positive Coaching

We train and encourage our coaches to make the extra effort to understand and

offer positive help to our players, rather than use negative criticism.

 This approach builds a positive team spirit.

Good Sportsmanship

We create a positive environment based upon mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. All of our programs are designed to instill good sportsmanship in our kids and our volunteers.

We have adopted a number of policies to assure that we can and will achieve our mission. National  Rules & Regulations, By-Laws & policies as well as our local Regional Guidelines cover many areas, including insurance, dress, conduct, registration and other important items. Listed below are several key policies and procedures pertaining to registration:

Players must have been born on or before September 1, 2004 to play.

 Teams are formed based on grade.

 Games are played on Sunday afternoons with one training session during the week (except for U05 & U06).

 U05 & U06 teams training sessions are  just prior to their games on Sundays.

 Team assignments will be completed and available to the coaches by Mid March 2008.

 Requests for specific team placements, practice days, friendships and coaches are not accepted (except for siblings of the same sex and division).

 Once teams are formed, players cannot be reassigned.

 Coach pairing requests will be honored when possible and in accordance with Regional policies but are not guaranteed.

 All volunteers are required to complete a Volunteer application each year and present it in person with picture I.D. All adult volunteers must provide SS # and are subject to a criminal background check.

 Coach and Referee volunteers are required to complete specific AYSO Training courses.

 Player fees include the cost of a uniform (shirt, shorts and socks), end of season participation gift  and a team picture.

 Full refunds will be made if:  a) the player has not participated in a training session or game, b) not received a uniform and c) a request, in writing (email is acceptable) is made prior to the first game of the season.

 First time Deerfield AYSO players must show Date Of Birth proof in the form of a government issued document (birth certificate, State I.D., passport).

Here are the instructions to Pre-Register player or volunteer:

1) Log on to the registration site:   www.eAYSO.org and follow online instructions

2) ALWAYS CHOOSE REGION # 1007

3) Print only one copy of form (NOT a "screen print") (even though it says 2) (WRITE CHILDS GRADE IN FALL 08 ON TOP)

YOUR CHILD IS NOT REGISTERED UNTIL ALL DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENTED AND FEE IS PAID.

4) Sign, date and mail along with payment (and proof of date of birth if first time player) to:

AYSO - P.O. Box 618 Deerfield, IL 60015

Those players registering via mail are subject to being placed on a wait list and team placement will be subject to space availability and having enough coaches/teams.

Waiting list priority is based on the postmark

Registrations received without full documentation, payment, unsigned or altered, will be returned unprocessed. Notification of team placement (if made) may be as late as the first game. Those players who are not assigned teams will have payments returned.

Registration For Fall 2008  is open to all children born on or before September 1, 2004.
