EXTRA offers a higher level of soccer for AYSO players who have the interest and abilities. Though players are more advanced, the EXTRA program follows the same core values as AYSO’s other programs and embraces AYSO’s Six Philosophies.
AYSO Extra is designed to give players an opportunity to participate in a more competitive soccer environment without the substantial increase in cost, time commitment, and travel that is typically required of club soccer.
Region 114 teams compete against other AYSO Extra teams from Areas Q, L, Z, K and E.
COST
- EXTRA players pay the normal Fall registration fee plus an additional fee (approximately $250) to cover the cost of an upgraded uniform, professional training and the EXTRA Program participation fee
