Q:  Can I request that my child play with certain friends or with a particular coach?

A:  AYSO does not honor coach or team requests.  Unfortunately, with 500+ players, we cannot effectively manage all of these requests.  However, if you are willing to coach, referee, or serve on the board, we will honor one "play with" request for one soccer year.  Coaches are only guaranteed to have their own child on their team on an annual basis. Our primary objective in assigning teams is to have "balanced" teams, so we look at the players' abilities, age, and years of experience.  We actually have a computer program that does this for us!
