Your child may not participate without a signed and dated Player Form. To print the form, login and then look on the left menu for the item, Forms Package.

How can I pay me fees?Yes, you can pay your registration fees by going here. What is my child's registration status? How can I know if my kids are fully registered? The best way to determine your kids registration status, their team assignment, your coaches name, etc, is to Login and look at the Parent link in the left column to open sub-menu items. The first item is Registration Status. I registered my children on the National eAYSO Site. What can I do?
We do not use the national eAYSO system for player registration, only for volunteer registration. If you registered on the National Site, eAYSO, or another region's site, just ignore the mistake and proceed to register on Palo Alto AYSO's site, by selecting a program from the sidebar to the left.
Registration for various programs is held at different times. Consult the sidebar to the left to see whether registration is open for each program. Typical registration periods.
Where is registration? Registration is by online only. You may use the library or other facilities to get signed up. If you have difficulty email the registrar@ayso26.org. Payment may be made online or by mail. Go here. Go to the Login page, using the menu item at the top of this site. Follow the instructions to get help on that page. Yes, scholarships are available for players who need help with the fees. Read about our Scholarship Policy. If you have applied for a scholarship and have not had a response for more than one week, please follow up with our registrar@ayso26.org. No. On the registration form you can specify your school. This is not "signing up for a team at this field or school", but a hint to be taken into account in team assignment. Many things affect practice field assignment, including whether the appropriate age and gender practices at that field, the days you specified that you can not practice, team balancing, and the number of requests for that school. If possible, a field near your school will be assigned. No. Our policy is to formulate our teams with some kids coming from the same school, but also to ensure that the team is well balanced with kids from other schools. In this way the player should already know a couple of kids on the team, but be learning soccer with new coaches and other kids on the team. This provides the best learning and playing experience for all. Each player may request one other player during registration, and if the other player has the same friend request, then they are matched together.
No, because of all the factors that have to be managed and balanced in team assignments for over 2000 kids, we cannot honor requests to play with a specific coach or other player. Most AYSO parents work and have other children and other activities, so carpooling is a common concern. Carpooling is usually a subject at the team parents' meeting, and rosters show parent contact information that enables forming carpools for your team.
We appreciate your letting us know if you find you will not be able to participate. Inform your Division Commissioner of your intent to withdraw. Check our page for Refund Policy and to make a request to refund a player's registration fee.
If the system tells you your account is locked when you try to reset your password, it will be necessary for an administrator to unlock it. This can happen if you have tried several unsuccessful passwords in a row trying to login. Send email to account-help@ayso26.org. This could mean that you do not have cookies enabled in your browser. Another problem might be that you are accessing the web site through a caching proxy server that blocks cookies, such as is used in some companies. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about that - you need to use a computer that's not behind such a proxy server. This should not be a problem if you are accessing the Internet from home. If you cannot get past the cookie problem, email account-help@ayso26.org for help.
