What is AYSO Core? |
|||
</div> |
|||
</div> |
|||
AYSO Core is AYSO’s Primary Program and the foundation of the AYSO player experience. |
|||
Core serves players in the 6U–19U divisions and is built around AYSO’s Vision, Mission, and Six Philosophies. |
|||
Players are placed on balanced teams through open registration rather than tryouts. |
|||
Core focuses on player development, access, fun, belonging, and positive youth sports experiences. |

Core is open to players who meet AYSO registration and age division requirements. |

Player eligibility follows the current AYSO Membership Year school-year model using the '''August 1 age determination date'''. |

Program Structure |

</div> |

Core programs are locally operated by Regions with support from Areas, Sections, and the AYSO Office. |
|||
Program structure may vary based on registration size, field space, volunteer availability, and local scheduling needs. |
|||
Core remains the foundation of the AYSO player pathway and should always be the primary focus of every Region. |
|||
Older players may continue in Core through 16U–19U programming, which can include more flexible structures while remaining aligned with AYSO philosophies and policies. |
