Register your player(s) online at AYSO2.org.   Login to your account and click 'Register Now' and follow the instructions. Registration closes February 21st!

Registration fees where teams are available will be collected at registration. We have put many divisions on waitlist once we hit a certain number of players. If your player is placed on a waitlist, do not be concerned. It's simply so we can avoid charging a fee until the teams have been formed. Once your player lands on a team, we will contact you to arrange payment.

After signing up your player(s), please review the volunteer roles available. We always need coaches and referees. Always!  Please see our Volunteer Overview for more information.

Yes!  Region 2 covers Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia and Sierra Madre however you do not have to live in these cities in order to register or play in our region. Open Registration is one of AYSO's core philosophies.


What is the EPIC program?
AYSO EPIC stands for Everyone Plays In our Community. The mission of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide athletes with disabilities the additional support they need to fully participate in a quality soccer experience.  The ultimate goal of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide a holistic AYSO experience for players, families, and volunteers, from team uniforms, to playing on a team, to cheering from the sidelines, for all participants. Registration for EPIC is open year-round.

Additional information regarding EPIC can be found on the AYSO National Epic website.  Please contact [email protected] with any other questions.



Who runs AYSO Region 2?

Region 2 is 100% volunteer run organization.  From our team parents, coaches, referees, board members all the way up to the Region Commissioner. The region survives through the generous donation of time and energy given by our volunteers.

PLEASE consider volunteering.

We always, always, always need more coaches, referees, and managers.  We provide all the training necessary (at no cost) and no prior experience is required. There are few things more rewarding then being a role model to today's youth in addition to the quality bond you will share with your own player.

You will have the opportunity to register your interest in volunteering for one of our many available roles during the online registration process.



What is the National Player Fee?
The $25 AYSO National Annual Player Membership Fee is a non-refundable / non-transferable fee paid once annually to AYSO National. Every player is required to pay this fee which covers the cost of running the nationwide program including insurance, development, and delivery of training programs.

The AYSO National Annual Player Membership Fee is automatically added to the first registration for a Membership Year (Aug 1st - July 31st). Payment of the Membership Fee entitles the player to a Player ID Card, all member benefits including being able to be placed on a team, insurance coverage and the ability to register for any available player program in any AYSO program.


What is the refund policy?

We understand that plans change from the time of registration until the practices and games start in the Fall. At the same time, when a player is registered for any of our programs, we begin a process of purchasing uniforms, allocating field space and training coaches & referees, as well as reserving a space for them in our program. Please keep in mind that by this time, countless hours have already been allocated to place your player on a team.  In most cases another player may have been turned away to make room for your child.

My child is new to soccer. Can they play in a younger division?

The AYSO soccer program is designed to provide age-appropriate training to all kids in their division. Our coaches are trained to work with children of all skill levels and our soccer program is designed to help children develop and thrive. For these reasons, we do not grant play down requests.



My child is an experienced soccer player. Can they play in an older division?
For play up requests, the child needs to be a good fit to play in the older division and the impact to both divisions needs to be considered.  Final determinations are made after registration closes. Play-up requests should be e-mailed to [email protected]



Who do I contact if I am interested in playing in the Adult League?
