Your Child's Team

Information for Region 13 parents about your child's team — rosters, practice schedules, and communicating with your coach and team manager.

Your Child’s Team

Once your child is assigned to a team, here’s what to expect and how to stay connected.

How You’ll Find Out Your Team

About 1-2 weeks before the season starts, you’ll receive an email with:

  • Your child’s team name and division
  • Coach name and contact information
  • Practice day, time, and location
  • First game date and field

If you haven’t received team information within a week of the season starting, check your spam folder first, then contact team@ayso13.org.

Team Communication

Your Team Manager

Every team has a volunteer team manager who handles logistics. They’ll contact you with:

  • Practice reminders
  • Game schedules and field locations
  • Snack sign-ups
  • Team events

How Teams Communicate

Most teams use one of these methods:

Method What to Expect
Email Official announcements, schedule changes
Team app (TeamSnap, Band, etc.) Game reminders, RSVP, quick updates
Group text Last-minute changes, cancellations

Your coach or team manager will let you know which method your team uses.

Add your coach and team manager to your phone contacts so their messages don’t get filtered.

Game Day Basics

Finding Your Game

InLeague schedule

You can also check the weekly schedule PDF posted each week.

Game times are typically Saturday mornings. Exact times vary by division:

  • Younger divisions (6U-8U): Usually earlier morning slots
  • Older divisions (10U+): Throughout the morning

What to Bring

  • [ ] Your child in their full uniform
  • [ ] Water bottle
  • [ ] Snacks for after the game
  • [ ] Folding chair or blanket for parents
  • [ ] Weather gear (sunscreen, hat, jacket depending on conditions)

Arrival Time

Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before game time. This gives your child time to:

  • Find their team
  • Warm up with the coach
  • Use the restroom

Game Length

Division Game Length Halves
6U-8U 40 minutes Two 20-minute halves
10U 50 minutes Two 25-minute halves
12U 60 minutes Two 30-minute halves
14U 70 minutes Two 35-minute halves

Practice

When and Where

Practice is typically once per week on a weeknight (Monday-Thursday). Your coach sets the day and time based on field availability and team schedules.

Practice locations may be at a different field than where games are held. See the field map to find your practice location.

What Happens at Practice

Practices usually run 60-75 minutes and include:

  • Warm-up activities
  • Skill-building drills
  • Scrimmages (practice games)
  • Cool-down

Parents are welcome to watch but are asked to stay on the sidelines and let the coach run practice.

Missing Practice

Let your coach know in advance if your child will miss practice.

Weather Cancellations

Checking Field Status

Before heading to a game or practice, check the field status:

InLeague

You can also check our homepage for weather alerts.

How Cancellations Work

  • Games: The region decides by early Saturday morning. Check email and the field status page.
  • Practices: Your coach decides and will notify the team directly.

If conditions look bad, check the website before leaving home.

Season Standings

AYSO emphasizes development over winning. Standings are available, but there’s no elimination — every team plays a full season, and every player receives equal playing time.

End of Season

Final Games

The last regular-season games are typically in mid-November. Some divisions have a playoffs format during the final weeks, but every team continues playing.

Team Party

Most teams organize an end-of-season party to celebrate the season and receive participation awards. Your team manager will coordinate details.
