The EXTRA program is designed for players who have the interest, skills and abilities and who want to enhance their experience and individual growth through soccer while retaining the spirit of and organizational membership in AYSO. This gives individual players who demonstrate both an ability and desire the opportunity to pursue soccer at a higher level while still adhering to the AYSO philosophies. We set up boys and girls teams that participate in the 10U division (typically 3rd and 4th grade) and 12U division (typically 5th and 6th grade) for the upcoming season.
The EXTRA program involves two weekly training sessions, one utilizing professional trainers and one utilizing volunteer team coaches, and one challenging game on the weekends against other local north suburban EXTRA teams. EXTRA games are in addition to the weekly games played on Sundays. EXTRA games are also played on Sundays after the regular team games are completed, typically starting after 5pm. The EXTRA program includes official scorekeeping, rankings, and end of year tournament with trophies only going to the top two teams. Players will need to play on both their EXTRA team and their regular team in order to be eligible. An optional winter clinic is offered as part of the program focusing on individual skills and Futsal.
