My son/daughter has friends that play AYSO soccer. Can I request that my child is on the same team as his/her friends?

Yes! If you want to be the Assistant Team Coach or Team Referee (U6,U8 and U10 division). For new players, we offer the Bring A Friend Program. We do try to place U8 division players in teams with other players from their same school, but since this depends on the number of players who register from your child's school, we cannot guarantee this.

My son/daughter is too good a player for his/her age division. Can I move him/her up a division?

You can, with special permission from the Regional Commissioner, but you do so at you and your child's own risk. The RC's decision will be based on both your child's ability rating as given by his/her previous coach as well as your child's physical size. They also must be with in the 3 mouths of the cut off date.
