The EXTRA Program offers a more advanced level of competition for players who possess the appropriate skills, commitment, and abilities. The program offers provides development opportunities similar to club soccer though maintains the core AYSO philosophies – including a guarantee that all players will play at least half of every game. Players are selected through a competitive tryout process.

Tryouts are open to all age eligible players and traditionally happen once each year.

When we are able to conduct two tryout sessions…attendance at both tryouts is encouraged, but not required.

There is NO FEE to tryout, though all players must register for the tryout. and you do NOT yet need to have a current AYSO registration to tryout.

EXTRA COACH DETAILS

Extra teams in Irvine play under the "Fusion" name. Fusion teams participate in AYSO's Section 11 EXTRA program during the fall, and either continue there for Spring or join the Spring Select teams. Players must try out to be accepted into this program. Tryouts are typically held once per year between the fall and spring seasons. Additional, smaller tryouts are occasionally used to fill teams that have open spaces. Players are notified of tryouts days/times via email and this website. Questions? Email [email protected].
