What kind of payment will you accept? Only checks and cash are accepted.[back to FAQ's]

My older child has never played soccer before. Can he/she still sign up? Yes, experience is not a requirement. The teams are set up so that all youths play at least 3/4 of each game.(upper division players,U16/U19 play a minimum of 1/2 of each game) We ask that players who are new to Region 15 or have never played in AYSO soccer, please attend the evaluation session on Saturday, June 25 at Torrance Elementary.[back to FAQ's]

Can my two children be on the same team? If they are within the same age bracket, they can play on the same team.[back to FAQ's]

Can my child be on the same team as his best friend? U6 teams are formed by schools, so you can request that a child be put on a specific team. All other divisions are balanced teams. We do not accept any request for specific teams.[back to FAQ's]

What do I have to buy for my child to play? The Region provides a jersey, shorts, and socks. Players must provide their own shoes, shin guards, and practice ball.[back to FAQ's]

Can my child play for a particular coach? The coach's children may play on the team coached by their parent. We do not honor other requests for specific coaches or for people to coach together.[back to FAQ's]

My child has a physical or mental challenge. Can he/she still play? Region 15 does not offer a program for special needs children. However, our sister region in South Torrance will be able to accommodate your child. Please contact Cathy Howard at dcamhoward@sbcglobal.net.[back to FAQ's]

When are teams formed? The teams will be formed and distributed to the coaches by August 6th.[back to FAQ's]

I need a specific practice day for my child. Can I request it? No, however, your new coach will call a pre-season meeting and you may discuss your situation with them at that time.[back to FAQ's]

How many practices does my child have to attend? Coaches determine the practice schedules. Generally there are one to two practices per week for U10 and older.[back to FAQ's]

My child is exceptional. Can he/she play up a division? Players may play up one division with the permission of the Regional Commissioner and after verifying by a neutral source that the player's safety is not compromised. No player may play down a division for any reason. [back to FAQ's]

I want to coach and/or referee. Do I need experience? No. Region 15 offers training and support to all of our volunteers. U6 through U12 coaches must complete an age appropriate coaches clinic, and U8 coaches must also be certified as referees (unless they have a parent that will referee). All volunteers are required to take the Safe Haven Course (one time requirement) and fill in yearly volunteer forms that require background checks.[back to FAQ's]

How do I volunteer as a coach or referee? Region 15 welcomes parent involvement. If you would like to coach, assistant coach, or become a referee, please note that on your child's application. You must also complete a volunteer form and turn it in for processing before you can be approved as a coach, or any other volunteer. Volunteer applications can be completed on-line at www.eayso.org. Please complete the on-line form, print and sign two copies and bring them to one of our registration dates along with a form of identification. Volunteers are still subject to approval by Region 15 and the AYSO National Office. No applicant is guaranteed a volunteer position until they are notified by the CVPA, or the RC.[back to FAQ's]

What are Region 15's cancellation policies? Refunds are available upon receipt of written notification that your child has decided not to play soccer. If you submit your notification before July 1 you will receive a refund of 100% of your registration fee. Refunds for notifications made between July 1 and August 31 will be reduced by $50. There is no refund made for notifications after August 31. All cancellations must be made in writing and submitted via email to Registrar@ayso-region15.org.[back to FAQ's]

I volunteered last year. Do I have to fill out the volunteer form again? Yes. A new volunteer form is required each year. You must register and print out two copies at www.eayso.org, and bring them to one of our registration dates.[back to FAQ's]

I have taken Safe Haven. Do I need to take it again? No, the Safe Haven class is a one time requirement. All new volunteers are required to take this short, informative session as part of AYSO's Child Protection Program.[back to FAQ's]

I'd like to sit in a comfortable chair and just watch my child play...... Wouldn't we all? All AYSO regions throughout the United States rely on our parent volunteers to make soccer possible. You can still sit in that comfortable chair and watch your child's game, but please be aware that all parents are expected to help the team and in some cases help the region function. WE HAVE NO PAID STAFF, so be prepared to be a volunteer...because without volunteers, there wouldn't be any soccer games.[back to FAQ's]

Where do I send/mail the forms? Please see the NEW player or RETURNING player registration instructions for completing registration forms. [back to FAQ's]
