This is the primary program of AYSO that includes all ages and over 90% players. To join, sign-up at one of our registration events, please visit our registration pages for details and registration options.
How to play on a team: Sign-up during the normal registration process. Information is available on our home page. AYSO maintains the philosophies of EVERYONE PLAYS and OPEN REGISTRATION, this means that we accept all players regardless of ability and will continue to do so as long as we have space available.
How to coach a team: During the player registration process, volunteer to coach a team. Additionally, contact the division coordinator of the division you'd like to coach. Coaches must complete Safe Haven certification and appropriate age-specific training.
In the standard primary program offering of Corona AYSO, we have leagues for 3 to 18 year-old's - split into 11 divisions - U4 Academy (see above), U5 Academy (see above), U6, U7, U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U19 (Spring Open is U17 only no U19). Each division is split into separate boys and girls teams in the fall except for U19. In the spring some older divisions may also be coed depending on the number of players. This 16-year program is designed to allow for the development of the player through four stages as defined by the US Soccer Federation:
- PreSoccer: 1 year of pre-soccer developeng for U4 which includes balance and coordination skills for young players to gain the skills needed to move up into our U5 Academy and beyond.
- Initial stage: 4 years of introductory soccer in U5 - U8, also known as 'clinic play'. In this stage, the players play short sided to 5 v 5 games without the distraction of standings. An age-specific program is provided and taught to the coaches in U6-U8 to teach essential technical skills to the players to best introduce them to soccer without complicating the game.
- Basic stage: 4 years from U10 - U12 where we begin using the full Laws of the Game, maintain standings and a playoff structure. This is the age where we also introduce goalkeepers and further expand the skills taught to the players with a beginning of tactics, but training continues to be primarily concentrated on techniques. Techniques and other basic movements like balance and coordination have a much greater lasting effect when learned prior to age 12 and so we teach our coaches to concentrate on these aspects.
- Intermediate stage: 2 years of transition playing the full-sided game where tactics are increasingly taught and techniques are reinforced.
- Advanced stage: 5 years finishing their youth career playing divisions U16 and U19.
