What's happening
Soccer team assignments will be announced at the beginning of August.
July 29 - Aug 2 Summer Soccer Launch Party, afternoons in La Canada. Sign up now!
The clubhouse is getting a makeover. How are you at moving furniture? Or painting? Send a note to info@ayso13.org.
One of AYSO's core philosophies is that anybody can register to play soccer in any AYSO region. No matter where you work or live, all that's required are interest and enthusiasm. You may register in any AYSO region. Region 13 practices and plays on fields in Pasadena and La Cañada. Over 2,200 players have already signed up for Fall soccer, and there are waitlists in most divisions. There is still plenty of time to get off the waitlist, so register now if you haven’t already. The number of teams in each division depends on how many people volunteer to coach and referee. You can choose to volunteer and ensure that more kids get to play!
When you register, you'll also choose a volunteer role. If your child is waitlisted, a great reason to volunteer is that children who have a volunteer coach and referee will have priority off the waitlist. Family members or friends can do it, too.
If you've already volunteered, thank you for helping to make our season possible. Coaches and referees should have already been contacted by your Division Coach Administrator (DCA). If you have not heard from them, check your spam folder and contact your DCA.
To check on your training status, login and view the NEW dashboard. It’s based off the role(s) you selected in your volunteer preferences. Most training is online, followed by in-person coach/referee classes in late July and August. There will be some in September, but it's much better to do take them before the season starts.
If you are the head coach for more than one team, the games will be scheduled as conveniently as possible. Click here to see the Upcoming In-Person Coach Classes and Upcoming Referee Classes. More will be added between now and the start of the soccer season. To register for a class, go to eTrainU and enroll through the Training Event page. Check out the Volunteer FAQs for some screen shots to help you navigate.
Every team needs a Head Coach and Referees. If you're one of those volunteers, you may make a request to partner (one head coach and one referee), provided that you start your background check and being the certification process before teams are assigned (https://ayso13.org/volunteer/). Of course, teams still have to be balanced, and there may be other limitations. Last year was the first time Region 13 tried it, and the feedback was generally positive, so let's try it again for 2024!
Please let your Division Coach Administrator (DCA) know if you would like to volunteer and have a Head Coach / Referee pairing request. Find your DCA at https://ayso13.org/leadership/.

Dear <<First Name>>,
I hope that you are looking forward to our fall soccer season - we have a fun season ahead of us! With over 2,200 players already signed up, we have many folks who have already volunteered and I'd like to express my deep appreciation and thank you for helping us!
But, since each team needs coaches and referees to play, we still need more folks to volunteer. The number of coaches and referees determine how many teams are formed, and thus, how many kids play.
It's not only that volunteering helps kids to play soccer, though that's a big reason for doing it. Your volunteerism also helps to build a community that values positive experiences and an environment in which to raise our kids. So if you haven't volunteered yet, I encourage you to sign up today!
Terry Takahashi
Your Volunteer Commissioner, Coach, and Soccer Dad
