Kick off the new soccer season, have a great time, enjoy some good food AND meet up with the Cal Poly Mustang Soccer team.

BAR-B-QUE - The Elks will be there cooking up some great food for your family to enjoy!  RSVP to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it in advance and your tickets will be reserved for $5 each.  Meal tickets at the event will be $6.  (When sending an RSVP, include your name, phone number and total number of tickets you want reserved).

ELKS SHOOT-OUT - This year, your soccer player's chance to take part in the Elks Shoot-out will be at our Family Soccer Kickoff (in years past this has happened on Picture Day).  The Elks will have their shoot-out targets set up.  Your player is invited to take their best shots.  Qualifiers from Atascadero will progess to more regional competitions, plus earn bragging rights to the precision of their soccer shot.

CAL POLY MEN'S TEAM - will be present.  There is even talk of game between Cal Poly and the Coaches (and maybe some of the players, too).  Bring your soccer ball and get it signed by your favorite Mustang players.

50/50 RAFFLE

SOCCER SWAP - Bring your old soccer shorts, jerseys, shoes, shinguards and other stuff and swap it for soccer stuff that actually fits.

OTHER SURPRISES - The AYSA Board of Directors is working on other surprises as well.  We want this to be a fun evening for ALL attending (kids and adults), so come expecting to have a good time. 

The 2008 AYSA Season Starts
September 6, 2008

Mark your calendars for Saturday games starting September 6.

Coaches will be receiving your player's contact information in their roster packs at the Mandatory Coaches Meeting on August 23rd.  You should hear from them within a few days of that - there are only two weeks of practice before the first games.

Uniforms (including socks) will be provided to your player as part of their comprehensive registration fee.

REQUIRED - Your players will need soccer shoes and shinguards for the season - they should wear these at ALL practices and games. 

SUGGESTED - It is also recommended that they have extra soccer shorts and t-shirts or practice jerseys as well as extra pairs of long socks to wear for each practice.  AYSA does not provide this extra equipment, although come to our Soccer Swap at the Family Day on September 2nd and you might find something.

SOCCER BALL - AYSA provides a few soccer balls to each coach at the beginning of the season - but we can't provide enough for each player.  While it is not required that each player has their own soccer ball, AYSA strongly recommends that your player should have their own ball if it is at all possible.  This will help at practice sessions as well as give your player opportunities to work with a soccer ball around the house.  The more "touches" a player has on the ball throughout the day, the more their skills will improve.

U6 & U8 - Size 3 ball
U10 & U12 - Size 4 ball
U14 & above - Size 5 ball
