Starting an EXTRA Program

</div>

EXTRA programs are locally operated and must meet National program standards.

Before starting an EXTRA program, Regions, Areas, and Sections should ensure there is player demand, field availability, referee support, and access to an appropriate AYSO playing circuit.

To start an EXTRA program:

# Review the National EXTRA Rules and Guidelines
# Confirm local approval requirements
# Identify an approved AYSO playing circuit
# Confirm field and referee support
# Establish open tryout procedures
# Meet required program standards
# Communicate program expectations to families

All EXTRA coaches must:

* Follow AYSO’s Vision, Mission, and Six Philosophies
* Complete annual volunteer registration
* Meet compliance and risk management requirements
* Hold required AYSO coaching certifications
* Represent AYSO professionally on and off the field

Each EXTRA team must have:

EXTRA should support and strengthen the Primary Program, not operate separately from it.

EXTRA programs are expected to support the Primary Program through leadership, volunteer service, and player development.

Examples include:

* Referee support and participation
* Tournament and event support
* EPIC program involvement
* Regional volunteer service
* Player development clinics and training

Specific expectations should be determined locally.

What is AYSO EXTRA?

AYSO EXTRA is an AYSO competitive program that provides players with a higher level of play while remaining fully within AYSO.

Teams are formed through open tryouts and compete against other AYSO EXTRA teams.

EXTRA is designed for players seeking stronger competition while continuing to follow AYSO’s Vision, Mission, Six Philosophies, and player-first standards.

EXTRA should be used first where an EXTRA program is available and viable.
