Email [email protected] to get directed to the right place!

How will I get my player's uniform?

Uniform pick up for schoolyard/playground and  6U, & will be before their first activity. Days/Times will be communicated.
All other division coaches will have their uniform kits at practice before their first game.

Where do practices take place?
All practices take place on our fields in Serra Mesa. 
Cabrillo Heights Park, Angier Joint Use Park and Wegeforth Joint Use Park are where most of our practices happen. 

Who will coach my child?
AYSO teams are coached by volunteers from your community, many of them parents with children in the program. All coaches will receive age appropriate training by the region for the division they are coaching in. If you are interested in coaching register to volunteer at www.elcajonayso.com.

Who will contact me about my child's team and how do I know when we will practice?
If you have not volunteered to coach you will be contacted by your child's coach. Coaches receive their rosters at the coach meeting and will contact the parents of each player on the team. Usually the meeting is held 3 to 4 weeks before the first game. 

I see other teams practicing and I haven't been contacted.  What do I do?
Please do not panic if you see other teams practicing and your child has not been contacted. If your child's coach was unable to attend the first coach meeting or is out of town then they may not have received their roster yet. Also, not all teams begin practice at the same time. The very young teams do not always begin practice on the same date as other teams. If you have not been contacted, email the coach administrator. Contact information is on the website under About Us.

How often do players have games/practices?
These are the typical amount of activities players will participate in during a week.
4U Playground meet on Saturday at 9am
5U Schoolyard meet on Saturday at 9am
6U meet once a week with a game on Saturday 
8U meet twice a week with a game on Saturday 
10U, 12U, 14U has two practices a week with a game on Saturday

Can I select specific practice days when I register?
No, unless you are the coach of an 6U & up team. Coaches choose their team’s practice night. This is one of the advantages to coaching your player’s team!
Our coaches are flexible. They will contact you regarding working out a practice night that works for all the players on the team.

Can I select a specific coach when I register?

No. We will not honor any requests for a specific coach. Coaches cannot request specific players.

Can I request that my player play with a specific player?

We will not honor player requests. 

My player's other parent registered my child, how do I log into their account?
The Primary Account User can send you an invite to be an Additional User on the account with which your child was registered. To invite an Additional User to your account, click on the gear icon in your account to "Edit Account Info", scroll to bottom of Primary Parent/Guardian Info page and click on the green "Add Secondary Account Holder" button.

I don't see my Team Page.
You may have created an account separate from the account used to register your child. In order to view your child's Team Page, you must be logged in with a username associated with the account used to register your child. Only team members may view the Team Page.

How do I know what team my player is on?

Your player's coach will contact you once they receive the team roster. This will be during August.

How do I know my player's game schedule?

Schedules are finalized prior to the start of the season. Coach will communicate schedules to you.

How many coaches are assigned per team?

At least one coach is assigned per team, preferably two. It all depends on the number of volunteers who have registered. If your player’s team has only one coach, please consider volunteering to be the assistant coach. Everyone needs a back-up.

Are scholarships available for my child?
Limited scholarships are available for children who wish to play. Please contact us for more information. 

Are pets allowed at the fields?
Pets are not allowed on the premises due to various reasons, including we do not know who has allergies, we do not have a way to clean up after them and the owners of the fields requested that we do not allow.

The Kids Zone Pledge



How does AYSO protect its volunteers and athletes?

Safe Haven™ is a program designed to address a growing need for child and volunteer protection. There are four elements in the Safe Haven™ intervention cycle: Create Policies, Screen Volunteers, Train Volunteers, and Promote Education and Awareness. These are intended to stop child abuse and its agents before they get into the program.  In AYSO, children play in a friendly and safe environment.

The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 
This law grants immunity from certain types of prosecution for volunteers who meet its requirements. In order to receive full protection under the law, AYSO volunteers need must: 1. be properly trained and certified; 2. be performing duties as laid out in a position description; 3. act within the scope of AYSO's Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.
