What is EXTRA?

Due to Illinois' Covid-19 Guidelines the 2020/2021 EXTRA program has been cancelled for the foreseeable future. Should the guidelines change we'll evaluate whether a program is feasible at that time.

The AYSO EXTRA program is designed to provide a more challenging level of play for those players who possess the appropriate interest, skills and abilities and to enhance each player’s experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit and organization of AYSO. The goal of EXTRA is to strengthen AYSO by retaining players and volunteers in additional programs operated under the AYSO philosophies. EXTRA is not designed to overshadow or harm the standard primary program.

EXTRA Tryout Information

General EXTRA Information

Boys and Girls team(s) for the 10U and 12U Divisions.
Potential players are required to tryout in the Spring for the following Fall Season.
The season consists of TWO sessions: Fall (starts at end of Summer through about November) AND Spring (starts in early Spring and runs through about June). Please DO NOT APPLY if you cannot commit to BOTH sessions (player is on same team for both).
An optional winter clinic is offered focusing on individual skills and Futsal.
Maximum roster size per team is 10 for the 10U division and 12 for the 12U division. There are two coaches per team (head coach and assistant). Coaches may or may not be a player’s parent.
Players selected for an EXTRA Team MUST also register and play on an AYSO Standard Primary Team (SPT)
The cost per player for the EXTRA program is currently $250.00. This is IN ADDITION to the cost of the standard primary program fee.
Game locations can be as far south as the north side of Chicago and as far north as Libertyville (or even further).

Notes:
PLAYERS MUST PLAY TWO (2) GAMES EACH WEEK – ONE FOR THEIR EXTRA TEAM, AND ONE FOR THEIR PRIMARY TEAM – BOTH OF WHICH MAY BE ON SUNDAYS, BUT WILL NOT CONFLICT.

THERE WILL BE ONE TRAINING SESSION EACH WEEK FOR A PLAYER’S PRIMARY TEAM, AND UP TO TWO (2) TRAINING SESSIONS WEEKLY WITH THEIR EXTRA TEAM (ONE OF WHICH WILL BE WITH A PAID, PROFESSIONAL TRAINER).

Note from Commissioner

Dear Players, Parents, Volunteers and Visitors,

EXTRA volunteer coaches will need advanced AYSO training (at least 12U). Parents of players are also highly encouraged to volunteer as referees for the games. Parents will be able to specify their willingness to volunteer as a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Referee on their child’s tryout registration form. In the event we need additional volunteer coaches or referees, preference will be given to players whose parents volunteer to fill those positions.

Please let us know if you have any questions and whether you’d like to sign-up your child for tryouts. Thank you!

Stuart Slutzky
Regional Commissioner
