• Reminder:  DO NOT park on the south side of Jarlath Ave. This side of the street is residential permitted parking and you will be ticketed if you park there. Please respect our neighbors around the park.

Please Volunteer.  New volunteers are desperately needed!! We are an all volunteer organization.  Rogers Park AYSO exists due to the dedication of parent volunteers.  Every coach, board member and referee you see on the fields and in our organization are also parents.  Without the adequate number of volunteers, Rogers Park AYSO will be unable to continue. Currently, we are in need of board members in key positions to oversee the running of Rogers Park AYSO.  Follow this link to see which positions are open along with a description of the board position. In addition to board members, we always have a standing need for coaches, referees and division managers.  AYSO provides free training to all prospective coaches and referees so knowledge of the game is not a requirement.  All that is needed is enthusiasm and a positive attitude. If you can volunteer your time in any capacity, please contact us. Send us an email (rc@rpayso.org) or leave us a voicemail at (312-409-2855).

It Doesn't Happen By Magic

Setting up the fields is a lot of work. The more people involved the faster it goes. Please come early if your child is playing the first game of the day and help out with equipment. Thanks to those who already do this.

Soccer Balls

Soccer balls come in various sizes. This is a number 5, the size used by the older teams. Check the rules to determine the correct ball size for your child.

Children should bring a ball to practice.

Soccer Shoes

Soccer shoes are useful to avoid slipping on the grass. The U6 players can play in tennis shoes but the older players should wear soccer shoes for safety purposes. No cleats are allowed on the toes.

Shin Guards

Shin Guards are the major protective equipment used in soccer. Coaches cannot permit children to practice or play without shin guards. Socks must be worn over shin guards.
