Game Schedules have been uploaded. Uniforms will be available on Saturday - Game Day. Be sure to have players arrive 30 minutes prior to game start to accommodate. Players should wear black soccer shorts, soccer socks, shin-guards, and soccer cleats to the game, unless otherwise directed by team coach. 

PRACTICES CANCELLED DUE TO POOR FIELD CONDITIONS FOLLOWING TODAY'S THUNDERSTORMS.

We were directed by the Alachua Recreation Department to cancel all practices scheduled today, March 20th.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this late notice may have caused. The decision to cancel practices came late in the day after it was discovered the heavy rains had rendered the fields unsuitable for play. 

PRACTICES WILL RESUME AS NORMAL after today. It is not customary for play to be cancelled - be it games or practices, due to rain. Please refer to AYSL's "Weather Policy" for more information. It is always best to ask your coach, when in doubt. 

Alachua, what a turnout! It is wonderful to see so many active kids! Rosters are being finalized. Please be patient as we work through this process. Your player(s)'s coaches will be in contact shortly. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information on team placement. 

This Season's Game Opener will be held in Newberry at the Sports Complex on April 7th. Check back soon for team schedules and game locations. Division Homepages are visible to everyone. Read this article for more on how to view team pages. 

We'd love to showcase some of our AYSL players moving on the field so, if you have any photos or videos be sure to send us an email and we'll share them on our homepage! Like our Facebook Page for Game Day Posts and other updates. 

See you on the fields! 

Open practices for the Spring 2018 Soccer Season will begin on February 20th at the Hal Brady Recreation Center fields in Alachua. Season Registration and Fees are due by March 11th.

Open practices begin on Tuesday, February 20th. Practices are generally held two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) between the hours of 6 and 7 pm, unless otherwise noted by the team coach.

Players ages 4-14 years are welcome to join us on the fields for open practice. Find a team at the appropriate age level and play! Is your child interested in soccer or team sports? Just want to see what the Alachua Youth Soccer League is all about? Open practices are not only a great opportunity to get to know the players, coaches, parents and volunteers that make up the AYSL, but are also a place to have fun learning soccer basics, skills, and teamwork. 

Season Registration and Fees are due by March 11th. Forms will be sent home with Alachua County School children within the next few weeks. Forms can also be obtained from the Hal Brady Rec Center. Or better yet, just click on the attachment link above, download, and print! Forms and fees can be submitted to the Rec Center or John Salbert (usually spotted strolling the fields in white polo). 

Please feel free to email with any questions. We hope to see you and your player(s) on the field! Get outside, run, kick, strike, save, tackle, defend, and GO TO GOAL! We love soccer!

Weather Policy

Weather in our area is notoriously fickle. It can be bright and sunny at home, and storming at the field, or vice versa. And it can be pouring 20 minutes before practice, and clear in time. 

Such is life in Florida.

That said, we will not play soccer in lightening conditions. We may delay or cancel play. We may also cancel or delay play for extreme wind or storm conditions. We will likely play in light rain.

If inclement weather is expected, the best source of information is your team coach. They should have contact information and will have made team arrangements for how information will be distributed. It is very rare for all practices or an entire Saturday game schedule to require cancellation. We do not routinely post general information to the entire league except in very extreme conditions (such as a tropical storm).
