eAYSO Info & Support

eAYSO is the database used by AYSO nationally to keep player and volunteer information. It is found at www.eayso.org. This system remembers the information already entered from previous seasons, even if you have moved. This way, you can just update the information, instead of having to start over each season.

Q) Why use eAYSO?

It helps national as well as your local region to register both players and volunteers. It helps with team setup and notification and even sets up a Shutterfly site for each team.

Q) Is eAYSO tough to use?

An eAYSO account is easy to make, needing only an email and a phone number. And, an eAYSO account can hold any number of player records or volunteer records. Basically, the whole family can all be in one eAYSO account, making it very easy to register each year. And the interface is very user-friendly. Every screen has easy to understand prompts, and if there are any problems, the error messages are usually very clear.

Q) What's in the eAYSO system?

Each player should have one eAYSO record. This record will move with you from region to region, year to year, even if you move to another state. You should not have to make new eAYSO records for players. Each volunteer should have one eAYSO record. As with players, the record keeps track of your history, of your certifications, classes you've taken, positions you've held, and moves with you from one region to the next.

Q) What if I have problems with eAYSO?

If you should have problems accessing your account or need a player record moved from one account to another, or your player isn't on your eAYSO account, the best place to go is the eAYSO help desk, at 1-866-588-AYSO. If you forgot your User-ID or password, you can click the link to recover them. The help desk (at the above number) can assist with this or any other eAYSO problem. You can also email the Registrar, who can help with log-in issues and offer support.

Q) Is there anything tricky or unclear in the eAYSO system?

Most tasks you need to do in eAYSO are very easy to find or address. But there are a few issues that seem to come up often. If you lose or forget your password, call the helpdesk at 1-866-588-AYSO or email the registrar. Do not make another account or record, as that just causes more confusion and is more work. When printing the Player Registration Form, there will be a small picture of a printer once the form is loaded. There is also some text on the screen that says "Click this printer icon." in red. Use this to print. DO NOT print from File/Print or CTRL-P as that won't print correctly. For our region, you do not need to worry about entering the uniform size for your player. Buddy requests (U8 and younger) can be entered in the Sibling section of the Player Information page.

Schedules

Q: How are my practice times and days assigned?
A: We work with our volunteer coaches to find a practice day, time, and location that is convenient for them. It is just one small way we can say, "Thanks for Coaching." When you are placed on a team, you get that team's practice slot.

Q: Can I request a specific practice day, or time, or location?
A: It would not be possible to accomodate each family's preference. The best way to request a specific practice day, time, or location is to become a coach. At most ages, it's much easier to coach than you might expect. Please reach out if you have questions about being a coach.

Q: If I don't get the practice times I want, can I switch teams?
A: No. That would leave your 'old' team with one too few players, and your 'new' team with one too many players.

Q: I saw a team practicing near my house, or I know a specific coach, can I request to join that team?
A: No. The coach is not the one to add players to his team. Players all go through proper registration and team placement.

Q: If I don't get the practice times I want, can I request a refund?
A: No. That would leave your 'old' team with one too few players.

Q: What are my options if I have a conflict with my practice times?
A: We recommend finding a way to make it work. Suspend the other activity for the soccer season. Or go to soccer one practice day, and the other activity on the other day. Consider carpooling if needed.

Q: What if my outside schedule is not flexible?
A: If you are unable to be flexible with your schedule, we recommend coaching. If you are unable to coach, then you are taking your chance. Perhaps it is not the right season to play soccer as a team sport. You might consider our Sunday Skills Training program.
