We were unable to register prior to the last registration date. Can we still play?
Absolutely and we would love to have you!!! One of the 6 pillars of the AYSO philosophy is OPEN REGISTRATION. This means that we work very hard to turn no one away.
You can register at any time. Even if the season has already started we will find an available spot on one of the team rosters.
My child is registered and what do I do now?
As a parent you can just relax for now. Your part is done till it gets closer to the season. If you provided us an email you should expect to hear from us with updates. Member of the board are busy working together to create a successful season for the children. As it gets closer and you have not been contacted please feel free to contact us.
Do you have to be a resident of Duanesburg Central School District in order to play?
No. You just need to be the proper age.
Can we play if we have a vacation planned?
Absolutely!! We just ask that you keep the line of communication open and inform us as soon as you have scheduled your time away. This will allow us to plan a more successful season. Thanks in advance!
What are some reasons soccer may be cancelled and how will we know?
We cancel for a variety of reasons related to the weather. If rain is accompanied by thunder and lightning, if the heat index is high or if the field is not playable and unsafe due to a lot of rain. If we have to cancel due to the weather we will send out an email and post to our Social Media pages. Also check out our Severe Weather Cancellation policies.

What equipment is needed?
Soccer has limited equipment requirements. The registration fee includes a complete uniform (jersey, shorts and socks) supplemental accident insurance, and team equipment.
Parents must ensure their young athlete has shoes, shin guards, and a water bottle. Cleats aren’t required but recommended as the child progresses to older age groups.
I know nothing about soccer. How can I help?
AYSO is a 100% volunteer based organization. We need help in several areas. You do not need to know anything about the game of soccer. If you are a person who is willing to help we can find an area that your strengths will be utilized. Some examples rage from painting lines, separating uniforms, soliciting donations or even completing paperwork as well. Just contact us and we will find something.
Does everyone play 11 vs. 11 with a goalie on a full field
No. One of the foundations of Player Development is Small Sided Games. Each age level has a modified set of rules, fields, etc. that is best for that age group.
