Spring Season Postponed until April 15th

All AYSO Programs Postponed Until Further Notice
(NBOD to revisit the situation on April 15, 2020)

On Tuesday, March 17, 2020, several member organizations of the US Soccer Federation (USSF) Youth Council mutually agreed to postpone all soccer activities of the respective organizations. This includes practices, training, matches, and tournaments. The Chief Medical Officer for US Soccer participated in the discussions. The Youth Council members included in the discussion were US Club Soccer, USYS, SAY Soccer, USSSA, and AYSO.

For AYSO, the following guidance is provided:

Regions must postpone spring programs or continuation of 2019 primary programs rather than cancelling them if warranted by conditions such as field availability, availability of volunteers, etc. We are all dealing with an unprecedented event, but, we believe that it is important to bring a sense of normalcy back to the lives of our kids and their families by helping them getting back to playing soccer when it is deemed safe to do so.

We have been advised that on/near April 15th AYSO National Board of Directors will meet to discuss the status of the season from that point on. Please be patient with us as we want to be sure that the safety of the children and all involved in the program remains at the forefront of any decisions being made now or in the future.
