AYSO EXTRA

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.
