A few things to remember

  • New teams are formed each season.

  • Do not request specific coaches and teammates, and please do not promise your child that they will play with specific friends or coaches. The only guaranteed team placements are for siblings in the same division, and coaches who will be placed with their children.

  • Players will receive their team assignments and game schedules roughly the week before opening day. You will receive an email from coaches and/or division coordinators but if you don’t, you can check your player’s assignment and schedule on your InLeague Dashboard.

  • AYSO is an all-volunteer organization and needs your help!! Consider volunteering as an administrator, referee, or coach for your child's team. There's no experience necessary, and training and resources will be provided!! Click here to learn more.

Scholarships

AYSO Region 473 designates a certain amount of funds each season toward our Scholarship Fund, which are available to help parents and guardians in circumstances where they cannot pay the full registration fee. 

Scholarships are distributed on a first come, first served basis, and are awarded based on financial need. All scholarships are based on the availability of funds. A scholarship does not guarantee a space on a team if divisions are already full. Scholarships are for one season only and families must reapply each season.

To apply for a seasonal scholarship, the parent or guardian must:

1. Add the child(ren) under their Family Profile at https://inleague.brooklynayso.org/, but DO NOT PAY.
2. Submit the Scholarship Application. One application per family.
3. If approved for a scholarship, you will be notified via email with next steps.

Active Duty Military Discount
