Carson Valley AYSO

Carson Valley’s AYSO Region 318 is ready to bring some outside sports back to the valley for the Spring 2021 season!

Registration is now open for the spring season and available to children ages 3-11. There will be the Playground and Schoolyard programs for the little players and full teams are available for children up to 11 years old. Uniforms will be provided for all participating players. Fees will be $55 for the Playground and Schoolyard programs, while the older registration fees will be $85.

Due to local and state regulations, all pandemic guidelines will be in place for the season. Because of physical distancing restrictions, some teams may have a smaller number on their rosters, which in turn will require more volunteers. With that being said, our region hopes to bring a bit of normalcy to an abnormal time.

All players will be put on a waitlist during registration, and payment will only be collected when a players is assigned to a team with an appropriate number of players and volunteers.

The entire regional division of Carson Valley AYSO is run by volunteers and the soccer season would not happen without the true champions in our community. Please consider volunteering as a coach, assistant coach, team parent, referee, or even a board member on our Region 318 AYSO board.

Please reach out to Ashley Goering at registrar@cvayso.org with registration questions, or Tami Anderson at coach@cvayso.org if you are interested in volunteering.
