*Younger players born between September 1 and December 31, 2018, have the option of playing either in the "Under-6" or "Under-8" play level. AYSA wants players to be excited to play and learn about the game of soccer at this young age. This gives parents the opportunity to choose which team would best suit their player. Players who are smaller, more cautious or new to team sports may be more comfortable on a U6 team.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The Chester Park Soccer Club, along with AYSA, believe that all children should have the opportunity to play soccer. If your family is in need of a scholarship to help offset the cost of registration, please complete the Chester Park Thunder Soccer Scholarship Request Form.
Please complete this form prior to registration in order to get your one time discount code.
Please complete one form for each player.
Once your request has been received, please allow up to 48 hours to receive your code to be used at check-out. You will be given a one-time use discount code to use at check-out.
Chester Park Soccer depends on volunteer parent coaches to make the season a success. As a thank you, we are offering families a discount on your player's registration fee. This is a really fun way to stay active with your children. AYSA offers support for new coaches.
Please fill out the coaching registration form to receive your one time discount code prior to registering your player.
What coaching involves:
The majority of the season runs in August with a few weeks in September. Player fee will be discounted if parent volunteers to be a coach. Please complete the Coach Registration Form if you are interested in coaching.
Life with families is hectic and plans can easily change, or a child is not as excited about playing as you thought they would be.
If your child is not going to participate in the 2024 recreational soccer program, you will receive a full refund minus the minimal online processing fee (usually less than $5) if you contact the club coordinator by August 10, 2024.
Please e-mail the coordinator ASAP at lgiammar10@gmail.com when you know your child will not participate! We often have a waiting list for the younger teams, and this allows us to find a spot for those children.
If you withdraw from the program after August 10, 2024, you will receive a refund for half of your registration fee as well as for your jersey if you haven't received it yet or are able to return it. Chester Park Soccer Club is responsible for paying a player fee to AYSA and those players are counted at the beginning of the season.
Please email the Chester Park Soccer coordinator, Lauren Giammar, at lgiammar10@gmail.com with questions.
Games will start on Thursday, August 1, 2024. Practices for each team will start one to two weeks before the first game and may occur during the week.
Once games start, the majority of practices will occur on Sunday afternoon or evening.
