This page was updated on May 21, 2012
Extra Team Tryouts will begin May 30, 2012. Information about what is required to tryout for an Extra team is provided below. Please take note of the following:
(1) Extra teams are formed “new” each year. Players who were on the Fall 2011 Extra teams are not automatically selected for the Fall 2012 team, they need to tryout again.
(2) A selection committee comprised of individuals who could be unrelated to the Extra team being formed will determine which players will be selected. Coaches for the prospective teams may be part of the selection committee.
(3) Coaches for the Fall 2012 Extra teams have not been selected. Just as players need to tryout each year, individuals who wish to coach an Extra team need to apply each year to be considered.
(4) For any particular age group if sufficient players of the appropriate skill level are not available to form an Extra team, then a team for that age group will not be formed. Similarly, if an appropriate coach for any particular age group is not available, then a team for that age group will not be formed.
(5) The success of this and other AYSO Region 174 programs requires the full participation of everyone. AYSO is an all-volunteer run organization. Families will be required to volunteer in different volunteer duties such as: Referee, Team Manager, Snack-Bar, Picture Day worker, and/or Board Member.
What is AYSO Extra Program:
The AYSO EXTRA program is a competitive soccer league designed to provide a higher level of play for those players who possess the appropriate skills, abilities, and drive. The EXTRA program is designed to enhance each player’s experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit, organization and six philosophies of AYSO.
To be considered for an EXTRA team, you must attend both tryout session and, if asked, the call back session. . Shinguards and cleats are required and mandatory at each tryout session. Each tryout session will start with a 15 minute sign-in time, information and warm-up. Please arrive 30 minutes before your tryout. Late arriving players might not be able to try-out for that day.
from AYSO’s National Website:
AYSO EXTRA, a PROGRESSIVE PLAYER PROGRAM, is designed for players who have the interest, skills and abilities and want to enhance their experience and individual growth through soccer while retaining the spirit of and organization membership in AYSO. EXTRA is not designed to overshadow or harm the standard primary program – rather the goal is to strengthen AYSO by recruiting and retaining players and volunteers through providing more competitive play the AYSO way – all EXTRA programs embrace the Six Philosophies of AYSO. Full details here: Program Guidelines.

What is the cost?
The regular region registration fee will need to be paid for each player. In addition, the EXTRA program player fee for 2012 will be $200 and it will cover a 2nd uniform, trainer fees and fees for the League Cup (EXTRA Playoffs). Additional fees will be required for tournaments to be determined. Optional fees could include warm-ups, bags, etc.
How long will the season last?
The Fall season will begin practicing in August (like we do for the regular AYSO season) with regular season running through November. In addition, there will be a League Cup in Dece\mber along with an inter-sectional tournament which we expect to take place with as the State Championships in March.
Will the Extra program utilize the ¾ play rule?
Yes. All players who regularly attend practice and are committed to the team will play at least ¾ of every game. For those players that habitually miss practice or games, the coach has the discretion to only play them for ½ of the game. Lack of commitment to the team for one season may hinder a player’s chances of making the team the following year
What is the time commitment for practice?
Practices will be twice a week for 90 minutes each practice session beginning in the middle of August.
Will there be tournaments after the Fall Season?
Yes. Extra teams will be allowed to participate in pre-season tournaments and AYSO invitational tournaments which will take place during November through June. The cost to enter into each of these tournaments will run $40 to $50 per player per tournament. In addition, there will be some pre-season tournaments in August and September which will only be open to Extra teams. The cost will also run $40 – $50 per player. The total cost of tournaments generally runs from $250 – $300.
