What is AYSO EXTRA?

The AYSO Extra/Flex program provides a more challenging and competitive level of play for those players who possess the appropriate interest, skills, and abilities. The program is geared toward an affordable and competitive soccer experience aimed at developing players for that may have an interest in playing for their high school or a gold level club team.

EXTRA is designed to enhance each player's experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit and organization of AYSO.

The program includes current U9 up to U16 players who are selected by way of a tryout process that evaluates fundamental soccer skills, which include:

Defending • Attacking • Speed • Ball Control • Game Knowledge • Attitude

PLAYER/PARENT COMMITMENT
All players will be asked to declare their commitment level to the program and that will also be a factor in final player selection. Club soccer players active on a club team are not allowed to participate in this program during the FALL season due to AYSO EXTRA Program National Guidelines. If selected to Extra team, it is a 1-year commitment (both for Spring & Fall seasons, i.e. Spring & Fall 2023).

SEASON LENGTH
The Extra/Flex Teams will play both the spring and fall seasons, typically starting earlier than the recreational program teams.

COST OF PROGRAM
The Registration Fee for AYSO Extra is the same as the Fall Primary Program, plus an additional fee for custom uniforms, exclusive EXTRA training and any tournament fees.

PLAYING CIRCUIT
Our EXTRA program is administered at the SECTION level with a gaming circuit that includes AYSO AREA’s Z, E, K, L and Q. Older divisions may play teams ranging from Cypress to down to San Clemente. In the lower age divisions like U9, games typically take place in South Orange County (Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita).

REGION 889 COACHING STAFF
All Region 889 coaches have gone through advanced training with certification levels above the age group they are coaching.

The Region also includes support from experienced trainers throughout the season that have a goal to improve the individual soccer skills of all players.

SUMMARY BENEFITS OF PROGRAM
