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.

Costs, schedule, and other information can be found here:
EXTRA PROGRAM COMPLETE 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].

Registering for Extra is a two-step process.

Register for Tryouts:

You must sign up for tryouts in our registration system. Regardless if you attend tryouts or not, this registration step needs to be completed.
*If you aren't sure if this is done yet, log in and look just below your participant's name and date of birth. If you see a program and age group, you already signed up for that program.

1. Log in to your www.ayso213.org account, or create one if you don't already have one.
2. From the main account page, click on ( x Programs Available! ) to the right of player's name.
3. Find 2022 Fusion, click on [View Divisions], and then [Select] your division.
4. Answer the Program Information questions, and click [Continue].
5. We are always looking for volunteers. But you can skip the volunteering step for now. If you are able to volunteer, you can do the registration portion when invited to the team or at any later date.
6. Review your order summary. It should not cost anything for this portion.
7. Finish the next few steps and you are finished once you click [Submit Order].

EXTRA TRYOUTS CONCLUDED

A BIG thank you to all that have tried out for our Fall 2022 Extra teams!

We are working through the tryout results and are beginning to provide feedback.

For those genders and ages in which we will be unable to form a team as well as those players that did not get an invite this time around, may we kindly recommend your considering our CORE/Rec program and that of our Skills Training Program.

Both are able to take registrants now in the same website location whereby you registered for the tryouts!

Keep checking here for information on our next open tryouts!

After your child is placed on a Fusion (Extra) team...

We will need photos for the Fusion players for ID cards. Please make sure the photo is an acceptable ID style photo. There is a sample photo below, to give you an idea of how the photo should look.

- We don't want photos with the player in a group of people, or with anyone else.
- We don't want full body photos that need lots of cropping.
- We don't want super close-ups.

Parents (or coaches) need to email their photo. The email needs to have player's first name and last name, year of birth, and gender. It also needs to have a photo attached. For the photo, the photo file name should be first name, last name, year of birth. For example, johnsmith2010.jpg, or markli2011.png.

* Make sure to leave enough space above and below head. Make sure head is centered.
