== <span style="color:#0054a6;">What is AYSO Alliance?</span> == |
|||
AYSO Alliance is an AYSO competitive program that allows teams to participate in external playing circuits while remaining fully connected to AYSO. |
|||
It is the highest level of competitive play offered within AYSO. |
|||
Teams are formed through open tryouts and selected players may compete in leagues such as US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer, and other approved State Association gaming circuits. |
|||
Travel may be involved depending on the playing circuit, but it is not required. |
|||
'''EXTRA should be used first where an EXTRA program is available and viable.''' |
|||
Alliance teams remain AYSO teams and continue to follow AYSO’s Vision, Mission, Six Philosophies, and player safety standards. |

== <span style="color:#0054a6;">Player Eligibility</span> == |
|||
Alliance teams are formed through '''open tryouts'''. |
|||
Tryout dates vary based on local program needs and State Association rules. |
|||
Player eligibility follows the current AYSO Membership Year school-year model using the '''August 1 age determination date'''. |
|||
=== To Be Eligible, Players Must === |
|||
* Be registered with AYSO |
|||
* Meet applicable State Association or playing circuit requirements |
|||
* Attend open tryouts to be considered for selection |
|||
== <span style="color:#0054a6;">Program Structure</span> == |
|||
Alliance may operate at the: |
|||
* Region level |
|||
* Area level |
|||
* Section level |
|||
This depends on local structure, field space, demand, and access to an external competition circuit. |
|||
Each program operates under the local Alliance Director and must follow AYSO Alliance Program Operations guidance. |
|||
AYSO does not control external league rules or decisions. |
|||
== <span style="color:#0054a6;">Program Expectations</span> == |
|||
Alliance programs are expected to operate within both AYSO guidelines and the requirements of their approved playing circuit. |
|||
Programs should ensure: |
|||
* Open tryouts for player selection |
|||
* Proper AYSO and State Association registration |
|||
* Certified and compliant coaches |
|||
* Required player cards and player documentation |
|||
* Financial accountability and oversight |
|||
* Player safety and risk management |
|||
