Additional Registration Info...
Thank you for choosing Ojai AYSO Region 147 we look forward to seeing you this season!
Registration is open May through July 4. Once registration is closed we will be assessing volunteers to see how many more division coordinators, coaches, referees and team parents are still needed. We will spend most of July getting volunteer background checks completed and volunteer training updated and completed as well as assembling teams. This process takes much longer when we're still looking for volunteers! Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Referees are the most critical during this time. If you can volunteer to fulfill any of these roles please do so today!
Coaches will start to receive their team packets around the end of July. Coaches are not eligible to receive their team packet until their background check has been cleared and they have completed all of the required coach and safety training. Not all coaches will receive their team packet at the same time.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Once a Coach receives their team packet they will notify the Parents/Players. Some coaches may call while other may send emails, so it's very important to keep your contact information updated in the registration system. It is also important that you check your voicemails and email as we get to August 1.
UNIFORMS
Your registration fee does include your game jersey, shorts, and one pair of socks.
Uniforms are not custom ordered, and sizes are not guaranteed. If you feel that your child may require a smaller or larger size than most kids their age typically receive it is important that you make a size selection and email our Purchaser at [email protected] and she will try to help you.
The player does get to keep their uniform once the season is over.
