Welcome to the Spring 2026 Season!
Thank you for choosing AYSO 1315 for your 'family's soccer experience'!
We call it a 'family soccer experience' because that is what we are trying to build within our organization! One huge soccer family consisting of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, parents, extended family members and friends. We hope you feel a part of it and that you'll want to help us build our family too!
Core Philosophies:
AYSO is based on 6 core philosophies and hopefully you’re familiar with them. Link to view
Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship & Player Development. Plus, Volunteer Power.
Good Sportsmanship is one that is close to my heart. We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect instead of a win-at-all costs attitude. This doesn’t mean that we are not competitive - but it does mean that we expect everyone to respect each other. Disrespect is not tolerated.
Each of you signed our Kids Zone Pledge Link
Kids are #1
Fun, NOT winning, is everything
Players play, coaches coach, referees ref and fans cheer
Respect the referee volunteers - we couldn’t do it without them. Yelling at referees is not allowed.
No yelling, swearing or abusive behavior
No weapons, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, smoking or vaping near the playing fields - please be aware and courteous to those around you.
No pets are permitted on the grass that is level with the playing field.
Leave no trash behind - this field is on the edge of the desert and the desert is home to many wild animals. Please clean up after yourself to help prevent them from coming to the field.
Celebrate the player - win or lose
Volunteers:
Another AYSO philosophy is that ‘AYSO runs on Volunteer power’. Our league is operated by 100% volunteers. None of the people that organize, coach, referee or help out with this region are paid or receive discounted registration. This includes myself - We do try to reward our volunteers when possible.
We are still looking for more volunteers. At least one parent or relative will need to volunteer in some capacity. We have a variety of ways you can volunteer - from being on the board, coaching, team parent - creating the snack sign up, refereeing, helping set up the fields, helping with our 2-3 events we have each season, or even as small as bringing snacks to one game this season. The point is that we need everyone to help in a small way to benefit our kids in this program.
We are in need of:
*Assistant Coach Administrator, *Field and Equipment Coordinator, *Safety Coordinator, and as always... **REFEREES**!
If these interest you, please email our Commissioner, Melanie at [email protected]. If you would like to help on the board but don’t know where you would like to help or time commitments, please reach out and we can help find the best fit!
Parent's Responsibility:
Bring your child, with equipment and water, to all practices and games. If your child is unable to attend, you will let the coach know ASAP so s/he can plan accordingly.
Every parent will pick up their child from the coach at the end of the game/practice. AYSO volunteers are responsible for the children in their care until released to a parent or relative. Please come to the field to pick up your child.
Equipment and training:
Children U8 or older should have cleats. Playground can wear tennis shoes and U6 can wear tennis shoes, but we encourage cleats. Every child will need shin guards and a ball. Playground, U6, U8: Size 3 ball; U10 & U12: Size 4 ball: U14: Size 5 ball
For the Playground - no practice, game, no score, parents involved, Saturday at Paiute Park. Each child will receive an award for participating in the season.
U6 and U8 divisions one - one hour practice at Mountains Edge on Mon, Tue or Thur - up to the coach. Games on Saturday at Paiute start at 8:30 and go every hour until about 11:30. We do not keep score - this is to help focus the players on having fun and increasing their skills without having the negativity of losing. Each child will receive an award for participating in the season.
For U10, U12 - two one hour practices at Mountain’s Edge M, T, Th, games are held on Friday night at 6, 7:15 or 8:30 pm at Mountain’s Edge Regional Park. We do keep score and we will award the 1st place team in each division with a trophy. Every child will also receive an award for participating.
U16 will have 2 1-1 ½ hour practice at Mountains Edge. Games at 8 or 10 am at Nathaniel Jones Park. We do keep score and we will award the 1st place team in each division with a trophy. Every child will also receive an award for participating.
