Added 8/13/2017:  Please make sure that your Participant/Player's first and last name, gender, and date of birth are correct on the Add New Participant web page before you click the Continue button.  Once you click that button, you cannot make any correction ... nor can we at the Region level.  We have to contact our National office to make corrections, a process that takes 24-48 hours.


How to Register For Fall 2019 5U Schoolyard Soccer

Whether you are brand new to AYSO or have been participating for years (as a parent or as a volunteer ... or both) EVERYONE must Create a New Account the first time you use this new system.

Please read all instructions below to learn how to register your son or daughter as a Player, and how to register yourself as a Volunteer.  Please note that the actual screens you see may differ somewhat from the screen shots below.

DO NOT LEAVE THE PLAYER REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR EACH PLAYER UNTIL YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO AT LEAST STEP 8b BELOW (e-signature)FOR EVERY PLAYER YOU WISH TO REGISTER. Please read all instructions before actually going thru the process and remember you will also need to attend a walk-in registration event.

2. Assuming that you are on Region 4's Blue Sombrero powered website and have not yet created a Blue Sombrero User Account,
