Anne Arundel Youth Soccer Association (AAYSA) League Information:

• Competition in AAYSA begins as early as age 7, as determined by a player's age on January 1.  JPYO will begin placing teams at the County level in the U9 Boys and Girls Divisions (age 8).
• Teams will be divided by skill level to accommodate all teams participating. Division 1 is highly competitive, composed of experienced and skilled players. Teams are usually selected by tryout or skill comparisons by the sponsoring Community organization (i.e., JPYO). Division 2 is not as competitive as Division 1, yet participants are skilled and experienced. Division 3 is designed for recreational players and should be less competitive in nature.
• Players must be 7 years old before they are allowed to participate in games. No exceptions to this rule will be entertained. However, players who turn 7 during the season are allowed to practice with their teammates up until they turn 7 and then play in games once they actually are 8.

Parents/Volunteers:

• We need volunteers to assist in the following areas: lining the fields, flag deployment and retrieval, coaches and assistant coaches, concessions, and team parents. A few minutes of your valuable time will go a long way to ensure a successful soccer season.
