Fall & Spring Core Programs

Our season begins at the respective Fall & Spring Kick Off events at Thomas Starr King Middle School, where players will meet their teammates and pick up their uniforms.

  • All players are part of balanced teams and we may ask players to attend an assessment to determine skill level.

  • All players play at least half of each game attended.

The season is Open Registration and we will try to place every applicant on a team. Unfortunately, in some situations, we will not be able to place players due to a lack of volunteers. Team formation requires coaches, referees and team parents.  Players will be turned away if we do not have sufficient volunteers. Consider volunteering in one of these key roles. 

Multiple training opportunities will be offered in the weeks approaching the season start and the first few weeks of the season. These training sessions are free, and your resulting certification will remain good forever, meaning you will not need to re-certify each year as a coach or referee.

Due to our size, we are no longer able to accommodate player requests. This is in line with all the other regions of our size due to impracticality. We may also not be able to accommodate coaches requesting to coach together, as we try our best to form balanced teams. 

FAQs

  • Starting with the Fall 2026 season, AYSO (and most US soccer organizations) is changing to an August 1–July 31 age-group cutoff, aligning team formation with school years rather than the calendar year. A player's division is based on their age as of August 1 for the upcoming season.

    Key 2026/27 Age Division Changes:

    • New Cutoff: August 1st (instead of Jan 1st).

    • 6U (Under-6): Born Aug 1, 2020 – Jul 31, 2021.

    • 7U (Under-7): Born Aug 1, 2019 – Jul 31, 2020.

    • 8U (Under-8): Born Aug 1, 2018 – Jul 31, 2019.

    • 10U (Under-10): Born Aug 1, 2016 – Jul 31, 2018.

    • 12U (Under-12): Born Aug 1, 2014 – Jul 31, 2016.

  • A "Move-up" in AYSO occurs when a player who is age eligible for a Division is given permission by Region 1567 to play "up" to a Division with older children. This typically occurs when a child’s family wishes to play "up" in the next highest Division because they have demonstrated particular advanced development with skills and emotional maturity.

    Allowing a player to "move-up" will be determined by the Region 1567 Board or those designated by the Region 1567 Board to make the decision. By its very nature, the decision to allow a child to move up or not is subjective. Therefore, Region 1567 will utilize whatever resources available to properly assess what is best for the player, family, and the Region. The decision will be made solely by the Region 1567 Board or those members of the board appointed by our Regional Commissioner to make the decision (typically Division Directors along with our Region Technical Director, etc.). Parents may also provide whatever information they believe may best assist the Region in making its determination. Move up requests beyond a one year age difference will not be considered except for rare and unusual circumstances. Region 1567 will take physical development, skills development, and psycho-social factors into account. Once a decision has been made, it may be appealed to the Regional Commissioner for a final review.

    Please be aware that it may work better for your child to have him or her play in their proper age group even though other players in the same grade are playing in the older one.

  • Only the coach determines the team's practice time. If you can't coach, options for parents whose children are unable to attend their team's regular practice are:

    1. Practice with another team and play games with your assigned team. The Region can guide you to a practice that may fit your schedule.

    2. Drop to the waitlist and wait for a spot to open on another team with a different practice night.  And while our goal is to place every child who registers, competitive balance is the first consideration when filling those openings, and your player is not guaranteed placement.

  • Refund requests must be made by submitting a written request by email to: rc@ayso1567.org.  You will be given a full refund if requested before January 31, 2025, a 50% refund if requested between February 1, 2025 and March 1, 2025, and no refunds will be issued after the first scheduled game on March 8, 2025.  Please allow 4-6 weeks to process the refund.  The $25 AYSO National membership fee is paid directly to the National AYSO organization and will not be refunded, as our Los Feliz region does not receive this fee.  Credit card processing fees are also not refunded.
