The Ashland Youth Soccer Girls or Boys 4 Grade Program runs in both the spring and the fall.

Season(s): Spring starts in April and fall kicks off in September. Both Seasons typically run for 10 weeks.

Equipment required: Cleats, Shin guards, soccer socks, size 4 soccer ball, water bottle

Uniform requirements: First time travel players will need to purchase a uniform. Replacement uniforms may also be purchased if needed.

Uniforms: The cost for a Travel Uniform is $60.00 for the package - Shirts $28, Shorts $22 and Socks $10.

Practices: Practices typically 2x a week in the evening. 

Games: Played on Saturdays. AYS is part of the BAYS league. Information about travel teams and schedules can be found at bays.org.

Scheduling/ Coaches Communication: Coaches and schedules are communicated end-of-March/early-April for Spring, and end-of-August/early-September for Fall. Dates and times are not known any sooner since they are dependent upon coach volunteers and field availability upon registration completion.

Format: 7v7 game with referees and goals. 

Game Length: (2)30min halves with NO off-side rules

Registration Fees: $200 per season
Please note that completing registration does not automatically guarantee a spot on a team. Placement depends on tryout results, whether your child played in the fall, available roster space, and coach availability.  
In the rare case we are unable to place your child on a team we will refund you the registration fees.

Late Fees: $50 late fee is charged for registering after the registration deadline.

Waitlist Policy: Registrations received after the registration deadline are placed on a waitlist, and are not guaranteed a spot on a team. Registration fee will not be charged unless player is placed on a team.

Cancellation Policy: AYS will issue a 100% refund if you cancel before registration closes. AYS will issue a 50% refund if it is within 30 days after registration closes. After that point there are no refunds given.

AYS will issue a full refund for a child if there is no team available for the child to play on. Please be advised as always uniform costs are not refundable.

Zero Tolerance: Coaches may only address the referee to request a substitution or to direct attention to an unsafe condition (e.g. player injury, lightning). Spectators may only address the referee to direct attention to an unsafe condition.
1. minor violations should result in a warning to the offending adult
2. repeated and/or more serious behavior should result in a caution to the offending adult
3. extreme, violent or additional violations subsequent to a caution should result in an ejection of the offender who must leave the game area

Try-outs: Travel players must participate in AYS try-outs/evaluations in order to be placed on a team for the Fall Season. Evaluations typically occur in early June. There are not formal evaluations for Spring. Placement for teams in the spring relies on the fall coaches evaluations for players.
