Can I request a specific teammate or coach?

New in Fall 2025, we need to refocus on the AYSO principle of balanced teams; therefore, we won’t be forming teams based on teammate and coach requests as the priority. Instead, teams will be grouped based on the school they attend, practice day/time requests (this is usually one of the most important variables for many families), and also considering skill level and/or number of seasons played. There is a very high chance your player will be with at least one person they know, especially if they go to the same school and ask for the same schedule. Children of coaches will be on their parent’s team unless requested otherwise.

Which color does my child wear during game day? Is it blue or white?

  • Home Team wears blue
  • Away Team wears white

Does Springfield AYSO follow OSAA recommendations when it comes to air quality guidelines (AQI)?

Yes, Springfield AYSO follows OSAA recommendations when it comes to AQI. To find the current AQI forecast for your area, please visit AirNow.gov.

AQI 51-100 (YELLOW)

  • Athletes who are unusually sensitive to air pollution should consider not participating.

AQI 100-150 (ORANGE)

  • Athletes with asthma should have rescue inhalers readily available and pretreat before exercise if directed by their healthcare provider. All athletes with respiratory illness, asthma, lung or heart disease should monitor symptoms and reduce/cease activity if symptoms arise.
  • Athletes with asthma or other lung diseases, heart conditions or diabetes may need additional rest breaks during practices/contests. Consider rescheduling to a different time and/or an area with a lower AQI.

AQI 151 and above (RED, PURPLE or MAROON)

  • All practices and games must be canceled or moved to an area with a lower AQI.

When and where can I pick up a uniform?

We don’t worry about uniform sizes at the time of ordering because sizes vary by manufacturer and we have extra uniforms in all sizes; therefore, when you pick up your uniform, you will be able to see the sizes and decide which size your player needs. 

In the worst-case scenario, the parent picking up the uniform has no idea what size to choose. We will help you guess, but if it isn’t the right size, you can exchange the uniform on Saturday.

Uniforms will be available the week practices begin on Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM at our AYSO Store/Storage area located at the back end of the school, directly across from the football field. There will also be an opportunity to pick up uniforms during the season kick-off event.

Additionally, uniform pick-ups are available every GAME DAY at the AYSO Store from 8:30 AM until 12:00 PM.

What happens when a game is canceled?

The game will be rescheduled within 3 weeks; however, canceled games during the last two weeks of the season will not be rescheduled.

Due to other scheduled games, it is unlikely that games can be simply delayed; therefore, any game that is delayed by more than 15 minutes, the game will have to be canceled and rescheduled.

Games have been canceled due to severe weather conditions. If lightning is seen from anywhere on the fields, there is a mandatory 30-minute clearing of all fields.  If there is a ‘passing’ hail, wind, or downpour that does not exceed 15 minutes, games and all following games will only be delayed.

Can I get a refund if a player decides not to play?

  • If you request a refund, you will not be refunded the AYSO Membership Fee because this is a National Fee that includes a secondary insurance policy that takes effect immediately.
  • Please allow 10 business days for processing.

To request a refund, please proceed to the website’s menu:

  • “About”
    • “Contact Us”
      • “I would like a refund”
