Overview for Parents and
Coaches
Flex
teams play in a special Flex division coordinated by the Area Flex administrator. The teams consist of players drawn from the Core (regular) AYSO teams, players who are eager and willing to spend more time playing and learning about soccer. Games are normally held on Saturday afternoons and do not conflict with the Core AYSO games or practices. In addition, many teams participate in AYSO-sponsored as well as private soccer tournaments. All players in AYSO Flex must be signed up in eayso.org (national registration done through our website) Participation with a Core AYSO team for Flex players is no longer mandatory (fall 2010) but players may play in both Flex and Core. All teams are coached by a parent volunteer. In addition, each team has the opportunity for training on weekday nights with our resident NY Red Bulls trainer. Every player must pay additional fees that cover the cost of training, tournaments and any other sundry items bought for the team.Schedule. Flex games are scheduled on Saturday afternoons, with start times varying between 3:30 and 5:00.
Team Selection.
Flex teams are selected at the coaches' discretion. Coaches should make every effort to consider all players and to solicit opinions from other coaches. If there are enough players and willing coaches, it is possible to organize two teams in the same age bracket.Fees. Each Flex player must pay a fee that is per season (separate fee for Fall and Spring) to cover the costs of training, tournaments, pins/patches, coaching, and other expenses associated with the Flex program. Coaches should collect the checks and submit them to the treasurer. Checks should be made payable to Irvington AYSO.
Eligibility. All players who are completely registered and paid (or scholarhipped/financially aided) may play Flex.
Tournaments. Area AYSO sponsors 1-2 tournaments per season; in addition, there are several private tournaments (e.g. Wizard Of Oss, Ardsley) that Flex teams may enter. The Flex Administrator will distribute tournament information to Flex Coaches as it is received. If a Flex Coach wishes to enter a tournament, he/she should contact the Extra Administrator who will coordinate the registration process and distribute any pins/patches that might be needed.
Referees. It is vital to recruit two or three certified referees for your team. AYSO Flex games and tournaments require that each team bring two certified referees.
Coach Certification.
Flex head coaches must have an age plus one age group appropriate AYSO Coaching Certificate (i.e., U-12 coaching certificate or higher if you are coaching a U-10 Extra Team).
