Region 114 Battle at the Beach AYSO EXTRA Tournament

Tournament 😍 Feedback

"This was one of the best tournaments we have ever played in. Check-in was very easy (not having to have the entire team there to check in was just fantastic), and all of our games started on time and ended on time. Parking was plentiful and close to the fields, the fields were easy to identify, and all the food options were great. And both of my keepers participated in Goalie Wars and absolutely loved it -- you should have seen their faces when they were telling their teammates about the experience. My parents and all the girls really had a great time and we hope to be able to do it again next year."

Is this just for EXTRA™ teams?

No! The tournament began as a way for EXTRA teams to prepare for the upcoming season, but if you are a similar level / year-round AYSO All-Star or Tournament team, we would love to have you. The only requirement is that players are registered in AYSO for the upcoming Fall season.


My roster isn't finalized yet. Can I still join?

Yes! Go ahead and register your team online to reserve your spot. During registration you may choose the option that says you will submit your roster by August 5th.


My team has kids with different birth years. Can we still participate?

Yes! Your team will play in the age division of the oldest player on your team.


My region prefers to send a check. Is that okay?

Yes! Go ahead and submit your online registration and choose the option that says you will submit payment via region check. We ask checks to be mailed within two weeks of acceptance.


Are there Friday night games?

For most teams-- no. For local teams-- yes.


How many games do we have to referee?

We ask visiting referee crews to cover 2 matches (or six referee slots in total). If you have a team of 3 referees, that is two matches. If you have fewer referees, you can still get a partial/prorated referee refund based on the number of games you cover.

  3. Submit signed roster by August 5th.
    You may use either our Team Roster form, or an Official Roster generated through Sports Connect "E4". Send as email attachment to [email protected].

Standby Divisions (Yes, you should register still)

Once the division fills, it becomes a Standby division. Standby teams will be contacted if another team cancels, or if we expand the bracket to allow more teams.

YES you should register your team on Standby. We don't ask for payment or documents of Standby teams until we are able to officially offer them a spot. Registering your team, with the link below, is free and it reserves your place in line.

Even better, all goalkeepers of Standby teams are allowed to sign-up for our GOALIE WARS mini-tournament, which takes place Saturday night at the conclusion of the main tournament games. So if you have a goalkeeper, this benefit alone may be worth the time to sign up as a standby team!


Fee Payment

You may submit one-time Team fees directly to our Zelle account ([email protected]), or by mailing a team check made payable to AYSO 114 Battle at the Beach. Venmo available for 2.5% fee. Check mailing Instructions are included in the Tournament Application. (See Tournament Documents below). Participants who wish to compete in Goalie Wars should pay separately.

Your Tournament Team fee must include both the team application fee and referee deposit. 🚫 Do not ask parents to send individual player payments for the Tournament team / referee fees. Your one-time payment must cover your entire team. (Parents should pay themselves for Goalie Wars, but that is different.)


Which birth years do we use?

We align with the upcoming 2024/25 season. So In Fall 2024, players in U9 were born in 2016. Players in U14 were born in 2011. If your team has multiple years of birth, register for the oldest age group on your team.

Tournament Rules and Plans

How to Generate a Roster in AYSO E4

If you do not have access to E4, request an "Official Roster" or "Official Photo Roster" from your Region Commissioner. If they don't have access... paper form for you I guess!

Steps to print an Official Roster or Official Photo Roster in E4:

  1. In E4, from the top menu choose Teams > Team Lookup.
  2. Search for the team. Click on the team to view.
  3. At the bottom of the Roster tab, find the Print Official Roster or the Print Official Photo Roster button. (see screenshot)

REGISTER FOR GOALIE WARS HERE

In 2024, we are excited to bring back GOALIE WARS mini-tournament, Saturday evening, August 17th. Goalie Wars starts after the other tournament games have wrapped up. (Around 5:30pm for the younger ages, a little later for the older ages. Exact times TBD.)

If you've got a goalkeeper, then this mini-tournament is for you! Matches every 90 seconds! Non-stop goalie dives, saves, blocks, and scores. Bring your team to cheer on your player to victory and help feed balls.


Date, Times, & Location

Saturday evening, August 17th at Heartwell Park Field 7

2014 - 2016 keepers: 5:30pm Check-In at Field 7 for 6pm(ish) tournament start

2011 - 2013 keepers: 6:30pm check-in at Field 7 for 7pm(ish) tournament start

The above times are ESTIMATES ONLY. Actual times will be announced the week before, based on # of registered goalkeepers.


AWARDS TO THE WINNER OF EACH DIVISION!

Our hope is to have single-year divisions, like Girls 2014, Boys 2014, Girls 2013... and so on. But, that all depends on how many goalkeepers register. If we have fewer players, we may opt to use AYSO divisions like Girls-10U, Boys-10U, Girls 12U... etc. TBD.

Updates regarding Tropical Storm Hilary

Sunday 6:00am Our Tournament Board reconvened this morning to consider the latest information and advisories. While we think the local conditions will be playable, we recognize the unfairness and safety issues present for teams traveling from the Inland Empire. Some of our teams from outside Long Beach are receiving do not travel orders from their local governments.

We have decided the best course of action is to call games off for today.

Games schedule will resume on Saturday, August 26th. More info to come. We ask coaches and families to not email us about Saturday yet-- please allow a day or two for us to come up with how we will tackle logistics for your myriad availabilities. We will be in touch soon.
