News and Announcements

• Have a great summer! We'll see everyone back in late August for team practices. The first game of the Fall 2009 season is Sunday, Septermber 06.

• Registration for the Fall 2009 & Spring 2010 Season is CLOSED. The waiting list is now open. You must place your child on the waiting list for a chance of being placed on a team. Being on the waiting list DOES NOT guarantee team placement.  To place your child on the waiting list, click here.

• Rogers Park AYSO WILL STOP OPERATING unless parents step up to volunteer for key board positions. Please contact us for more information.

• We are in desperate need of referees, adult and youth. Many of our scheduled games DO NOT have referees. If you can help out, please contact Deanna Montgomery by following this link. We will provide the necessary training.

• 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 by following this link. 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.
