Yes. To request a scholarship, please fill out this scholarship application (one per player) and email [email protected] a copy of your player’s MediCal card or free/reduced lunch letter.  Register your player on Sports Connect and sign the waivers. Please expect 1-2 weeks for application processing and approval. For Fall 2025, the last day to submit a scholarship application is 7/10/2025
 

Practice day and times are picked by the coaches and can happen throughout the week and at various locations throughout Mountain View and Los Altos. Fall games happen at various times on Saturdays. The exception is all the U6 teams have a combined practice and scrimmage session on Saturdays (typically from 2-3:30 pm) only. Please refer to the Age Divisions page for details.

For Spring Select, games will be on Sunday with various tournaments throughout the season that will last the whole weekend.

No. Only Head Coaches can request practice days and must always include alternatives due to limited field space. Coaches do not select practice fields until after all the teams have been assigned so we are unable to make team placements based on a desired practice day, time, or location.

The Division Coordinators work very hard to form teams with creating Balanced Teams as a top priority and and supporting Buddy requests where possible. Coaches select available practice times. If your player is unable to attend the assigned team’s practice, you may request to be removed from the team by sending an email to the Division Coordinator. Be sure the email includes non-conflicting practice times to help the DC select an appropriate alternative if one is available. The player will be placed on the bottom of the Wait List to be re-assigned to another team based on balanced teams and space available. Once moved to the Wait List, the player may NOT return to the original team. No refund will be provided due to scheduling conflicts.

No, you cannot request a particular coach.

A Fall player may specify one “playing buddy” to be on the same team through the Buddy Form. This form needs to be filled out and turned in, in-person, at open registration at one of the walk-in days. Buddy forms must be signed by the parents of both buddies. Siblings may also request playing buddies. Submission of a buddy form does not guarantee placement of players together as balanced team formation takes precedence. If you are submitting a buddy form, it is a reasonable expectation you will be asked to volunteer on some level as AYSO is an all-volunteer organization and playing buddies are a privilege. Coaches and Referees may also submit a separate Coach Buddy Form, to include a maximum of 3 player buddies (head coach, asst. coach, and 1 team referee player).

Yes, they can be assigned to the same team by specifying the name of the player’s sibling during online registration in the “siblings playing on the same team” field.
