When do the players get called?

The coaches will call the players the last week of August. They will give you all the information you will need in regards to practice times and location. Each coach sets his/her own practice days, times and location. Teams may begin practice on or after August 29. The practice fields are located in each town.

It’s after August 30th and my child has not been  called. What do I do?

If your child has not been called by August 30th, you may leave a message at: 

AYSO Region 232 Hotline 928-649-2774  

or email at reg@ayso232.org

How often are practices and games?

U6 children arrive at the field at the scheduled time and practice for 20 minutes.  They then play their game. U6 may practice the first 2 weeks.

Other divisions practice each week for the times listed below:

   U8 – practice 1 hour a week

   U10 – practice 2 hours a week

   U12 & U14 up to 3 hours

When there is no game scheduled, another practice or scrimmage may be held, i.e.  the first 2 weeks. The first games are the Saturday following Labor Day.  In case of rain, the referee at the field will cancel games.  (If no referee is available the coaches on the field may make the decision.) Games are held on fields throughout the Verde Valley.
