Is My Kid Ready To Sign Up?
Our philosophy allows the game to be the teacher by maximizing each player’s touches on the ball and encourages all the players to develop their skills in all positions. Further, the philosophy discourages intense competition until the older age groups.
We will have children of all levels participating on each team in our program. We have developed a system that provides both a fun and productive environment for players at all levels. Although our focus is predominantly on the enjoyment of playing the game, we would also like to utilize our time effectively with the children by teaching them as much as possible about the game and the skills needed to excel in the sport.
AYSO 1370
In an effort to continue improving our recreational league for the kids in our community, we are making the following adjustments/upgrades for the upcoming season:
- Balanced teams – we requested all the coaches to give us the ranking of the players and will utilize it to try to do a better job balancing teams.
- Sunday clinics – we will offer Sunday clinics with our licensed and professional coaching team. The objective is to provide the players in our region with quality technical sessions.
- Paid referees – U10 and older will have a paid center referee for the games to help the games be more organized and take away the extra responsibilities from our volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a certified ref, please reach out to Mo as we are looking to put a team of approx. 10-20 ref’s to cover the games.
- Team names based off pro teams.
U6 = MLS teams. Inter Miami, New York City FC, New England Revolution, LA Galaxy and more
U8 = EPL Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and more
U10 = La Liga – Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Seville and more
U12 = Serie A – Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan Napoli, Roma and more
U14/U19 = Brazil League - Sao Paulo, Santos, Atletico Mineiro, Corinthians and more
- Age appropriate – All players have to play age appropriate. It’s based off the calendar year they were born. No exceptions.
- Pugg Goals – All head coaches will be offered pug goals to use for training sessions during the season.
- Playing Up/Down policy - everybody plays age appropriate - https://www.aysoregion1370.com/Default.aspx?tabid=959212
- Travel Players - if you are currently enrolled in a travel team for soccer, please think about our community and the fairness in all competitions. Placement on a Travel team is by invitation only with competitive tryouts. If you play for a travel team, please think about the other kids and parents, by not taking a spot and playing time of somebody else within AYSO.
Registration for our upcoming season is still open and you can register at www.aysoregion1370.com
Weather Policy
The weather here in South Florida is very unpredictable and could be dangerous with the amount of lightning strikes.
Rain - Coach's call - The Coach will make an informed decision to have the session or not.Thunder and/or Lightning - see our guidelines.General Cancelation - in case of the fields being closed by Parks and Recreation, we will communicate around 4-5PM.
Here are our club guidelines with regards to lightning.
1) If you can hear thunder, you need to clear the fields immediately.
2) If lightning is within 10 miles, you need to clear the fields immediately.
3) Resuming activities - wait at least 30 minutes after seeing lightning or hearing thunder before resuming your activity. You are still at risk of being struck by lightning after a storm has passed. Don’t go back outside just because the rain has slowed or stopped.
Parents, if you see that lightning is within 10 miles &/or you hear thunder, please don’t wait and let’s clear the fields quickly.
We don’t like cancelling training sessions and it’s frustrating for everyone to make the drive, set up, get going and then having to cancel but unfortunately the weather in South Florida is so unpredictable and we need to put everyone’s safety first.
Please see the link below from U.S Soccer regarding lightning and safety

*Please note the dates are subject to change.
Thank you.
