AYSO REGION 37 CORONA-NORCO
AYSO IS A 100% VOLUNTEER RUN ORGANIZATION
We rely on parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings (over 18yo) and family friends to volunteer as coaches for your children's teams. Coaching is also a very rewarding experience, each volunteer coach plays a very important role as a role model and mentor to the children they coach. We offer online and in person coaching courses. If you are interested in coaching please email [email protected] or [email protected]. We also need referees, team managers and assistant coaches to make the season a success for the kids! Please contact [email protected] for more information on volunteering for these other supportive roles.

Q: What days and times will my son or daughter have practice? When and where are the games?
A: Practices will be determined by each coach at the beginning of the season. You will need to wait until your child is placed on a team and the coach contacts you to find out the practice schedule. Coaches may practice at any of our AYSO permitted parks-Santana, Shearer, Buena Vista as well as any others added during the season.
Coaches are not required to have their practice at the same field where their games are played at. Teams in 6u-19u may practice 1-2 nights per week.
The game schedule is not set until the start of the season.
-4U sessions are on Tuesday nights at Shearer Park.
-5U sessions are on Saturdays at Shearer Park.
-EPIC is on Saturdays only at Santana Park
-6U, 7U and 8U and divisions play their games on Saturdays at Shearer Park in Norco.

-16U and 19U play their games on a weeknight at Santana Park.
-Once the season starts and you meet your child's coach if their practice schedule does not work for you, you can fill out a drop form and receive a partial refund. We cannot move the player to another team as each team is only allowed a maximum amount of players.
Q:Can I request for my child to have a specific coach or play on a team with their friends?
A: Unfortunately we do not honor special requests for teammates and coaches. One of the AYSO philosophies is balanced teams, and we try our best to make the teams for the competitive age divisions balanced based on players ages and player ratings/skill level. For 6U-8U we cannot guarantee your child will play with teammates or coaches from last season or on teams with classmates or friends. Players are shuffled around to attempt to balance the teams based on confirmed coaches, player count, player experience and team volunteers.
Q:Are there tryouts that my son or daughter needs to attend?
A: Players in 10U and older (2015 birth year and older) and meet one of the following criteria need to attend a player evaluation session:
1) brand new players
2) players who are new to our region or
3)for those who haven't played in our region for more than 1 year.
Dates for those will be posted at a later time.
**For tryout information with our travel and club programs (EXTRA and Corona Wolves FC), please see information on their specific web pages.
Q: My child is in 4U or 5U and we haven't heard from a coach yet, when does their season begin?
A: For these divisions you will NOT be notified by a coach, instead you will be contacted by the program director Marla McIntyre. AYSO 4U and 5U divisions are a bit different than the older divisions. There are not weekday practices and weekend games. 4U is on a Tuesday night and is run by a master coach. Parent involvement in 4U is mandatory.
5U will be on Saturdays only and players will be grouped onto small teams for the second half of each session and we do need coach volunteers. Prior to the start of the season parents need to attend a meeting with the program directors. You will then be given more information about the upcoming season. Communication for this age group will be done mostly by email, please make sure that your email address is correct on your registration account. Email Marla McIntyre with questions [email protected] Please also refer to the 4U and 5U handbooks which can be found under the programs tab of the website Click here
Q: Do you offer a program for kids with disabilities or special needs?
A: Yes, we have our EPIC soccer program! Visit our EPIC PAGE or Email Patricia Mulari at [email protected] for information.
Q:I already registered and paid online, do I need to turn in the completed registration forms?
A: No, with the new SportConnect system, registration forms no longer need to be submitted to the region.
Q: I'm trying to register but there is a waitlist, what should I do?
A: Log in to your account and click on the available programs. A waitlist may start in a division before the end of our regular registration time. This is due to needing to have an even amount of teams. When given the option, select waitlist registration and advance through all screens, including the payment screen, it will stay at $0. You will know you've successfully added your son or daughter to the list via email receipt. If you would like to be a coach and you're on the waitlist, please email [email protected]. Your son or daughter will be moved off the list and placed on a team if there is a need for coaches in that particular division. If your son or daughter can be moved to a team, you will receive an email and/or text asking if you're still interested in participating for the season. If payment is not made within 48 hours, the next player down the list will be contacted. Players will be added from the waitlist through game 3 of the season. Please see drop and refund policy if you wish to drop from a team, so that another player can fill the spot.
Q: My child has suffered an injury or has decided to not play this season, do you offer refunds?
A: Once payment is made, $25 is non-refundable. Please see our Drop and Refund form for the full policy. DROP AND REFUND FORM . Email [email protected] if you have questions or to follow up.
Q: What happens if my child's team does not get a coach?
A: AYSO is an 100% volunteer organization and we rely on parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings (over 18yo) and family friends to volunteer as coaches for your children's teams. If no one from a team steps up to volunteer as a team coach, then we are left with no alternative but to disband the team. This is a last resort, but without volunteers we can not have team. This is why it is so important for parents to step up to volunteer. Coaching is also a very rewarding experience, each volunteer coach plays a very important role as a role model and mentor to the children they coach. We offer online and in person coaching courses. If you are interested in coaching please email [email protected] or [email protected].
Q: I'm unable to be a head coach, is there any other team volunteer position that I can help with?
A: Yes, every team needs an assistant coach, team manager and referees. ALL teams need to have at least one certified referee on their team. Ideally, each team should have 2 or 3 referees so that duties can be shared over the course of the season. Kids as young as 12 years old may become a certified referee. This a great way for them to earn community service hours for school. Our region has several referee certification courses before the start of the season as well as a few weeks into to season. Steps on how to become a referee can be located HERE.
