FALL 2024 SEASON
Welcome back, Hillsborough (Region 110) AYSO Families!
Our season runs from late August through the end of October. Hillsborough AYSO is open to kids from everywhere, but most of our divisions are full and closed for fall. Children with special needs can sign up for our EPIC (Everyone Plays In our Community, formerly VIP) program.
REGISTRATION
Players
To register as a Player, please visit the Sports Connect portal beginning MAY 2, 2024. Note that multiple divisions are closed and no longer accepting registrations, even for waitlists.
Fees:

$250 (plus AYSO National Player Fee) for 8U and above - Prices increase June 12, 2024:

- All orders will be subject to two nonrefundable fees: National AYSO's annual $25 fee and a $2.75 online processing fee
Registration will remain open until June 30 unless extended. Refunds (minus the $25 AYSO National Player Fee and the $2.75 processing fee) will be given until 6/30/2024. To request a refund, please email the registrar at [email protected].
Enrollment is first-come, first-served. We will try to accommodate all players, but enrollment may be limited by the availability of volunteer coaches. Players may be placed on a waitlist until volunteer coaches become available. Since many divisions fill up fast, register early to avoid higher registration fees and reduce the possibility of being placed on the waitlist.
AYSO uses birth-year registration to align with US Soccer, the governing body for soccer in the US. Players are placed into a division defined by the calendar year of their birth. For example, a player born any time during 2016 will be placed in 8U. The registration system automatically places players into the correct division. Please continue reading below to learn more.
VOLUNTEERS
Hillsborough AYSO is a 100% volunteer-run organization. Please consider volunteering if you can, as we always need coaches and referees. Other opportunities are available if you would prefer something “off the field”. Volunteers keep this excellent program running and the kids playing.
To register as a Volunteer, please visit the Sports Connect portal:
The volunteer registration process is slightly different this year. Volunteers NOT associated with a specific team, such as a coach or designated referee, should register under the "MY2024" program, separate from the "Fall Core 2024". This is important, so please reach out if you have any questions or issues with the volunteer registration process.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Teammate requests - AYSO strives to form ‘balanced’ teams to provide a more robust learning experience for teams as they play teams comprised of similar abilities. That said, the only way to guarantee your child is placed on a team with another player is to volunteer to coach or referee and pair up with the other family. Each team is allowed three volunteers; Coach, Assistant Coach, and Referee. All coaching/referee pairings are subject to review to ensure we can meet the team balancing objective.
AYSO EPIC - The mission of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide a quality soccer experience for individuals whose unique physical or mental abilities make it difficult to participate on mainstream soccer teams successfully. Successful participation is defined by the player's enjoyment and the safety of all team members.
Financial assistance - Financial assistance is available. Please email our registrar at [email protected] to apply for assistance.
