EXTRA

The EXTRA program is designed to provide a more competitive level of play for those players who possess the appropriate interest, skills, and commitment. The EXTRA program maintains AYSO’s core philosophies: everyone on the team plays at least 50 percent of each game; selection to teams is based on open and fair evaluations; and the teams are chosen to create a competitive balance.

Players participating in the EXTRA program will compete against EXTRA teams from other regions. There will be some travel involved, but most EXTRA games will be played within Section 11 (Northern Orange County). 

Fall 2024 Tryouts

Tryouts will be held on Friday, April 19 and Sunday, April 21 at Westgrove Park.

• Players should pre-register for the tryouts at: Region 59 Tryouts. 

• New and returning players must try out each year to be eligible for selection. 

• Players must attend at least one of the scheduled tryouts to be eligible, however it is highly encouraged for players to attend both tryouts if possible.

• Tryouts are only being held for the divisions and age groups shown below.

• Players may only tryout for their own birthyear - there will be NO playing up or down approved.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to your tryout session to check-in.

Players should bring water, a soccer ball, and wear appropriate soccer attire (shin guards, socks, and soccer shoes).

TEAM FORMATION
Players will be evaluated by an experienced panel of judges. The region will determine the number of EXTRA teams based upon the number of EXTRA caliber players identified during tryouts and the availability of qualified coaches. We will want to make sure we form a team that is competitive with other EXTRA teams in Orange County. We will not form a team if we do not think it will be competitive. Teams will be made of players in single age brackets.
