AYSO EXTRA in Region 70

AYSO EXTRA Logo

What is the AYSO EXTRA program? 


The AYSO EXTRA program is designed for skilled players who want competitive play and increased training within the AYSO philosophies. Region 70’s EXTRA program mimics our tournament team structure: players must tryout to make a team. Teams will compete against other competitive EXTRA teams in a circuit against other Regions across Souther California. Travel is required for games, potentially on both Saturdays and Sundays.


Because the EXTRA competition runs at the same time as the regular AYSO program, players who participate in EXTRA are not eligible to participate in the regular season, including playoffs and All Stars. EXTRA teams have a separate section-wide tournament and may enter competitive tournaments of their own choosing. EXTRA teams are coached by AYSO volunteer coaches, with assistance from professional trainers.


Because of the increased time commitment, game travel and higher level of competition, EXTRA is not appropriate for every player, and we only recommend players with a passion for the game.

EXTRA Team Formation Details


Tryouts for the EXTRA season will be held during the spring and the schedule will be available below. Each year, we will re-assess our interest in every age division to see if we can support an EXTRA Team. All players are welcome to try out who meet the age requirement for that year. There is no requirement to have played in Region 70 the prior season. Most age divisions will have multiple tryout dates and interested players must attend at least one tryout and are welcome to attend both. Additional tryouts may be scheduled to finalize teams.


It is important to emphasize that holding a tryout does not guarantee that a team will be formed in that specific age group. Factors such as the number of available players, qualified coach and referee volunteers, and overall division registration numbers will impact the decision to form teams. In the event that EXTRA teams cannot be formed in specific age groups, all registered players will be placed in the regular program for the upcoming season.
