2019-2020 EXTRA Program Information

Davis AYSO will be continuing the EXTRA Program in the 2019-2020 season for 13U (2007 birth year) and older teams. 

AYSO EXTRA provides soccer development opportunities for experienced players with the commitment, desire, and appropriate skills and abilities to play in a more challenging environment for a longer season. The tryout-based program is conducted in accordance with the AYSO vision and mission statements. Davis AYSO offers the EXTRA Program for 13U (2007 birth year) and older teams. A few characteristics of the program make it unique and valuable in our community:

- Davis AYSO EXTRA teams provide balanced playing time for every player.

- Davis AYSO EXTRA teams are coached by experienced volunteer coaches using positive coaching techniques to develop technical and tactical skills for both individual players and teams. As volunteers, they participate in the fun, family environment that is part of the AYSO mission.

- Davis AYSO EXTRA teams develop by playing soccer throughout the year with appropriate level of competition to both challenge players and provide growth opportunities.

Davis AYSO EXTRA parents and players must be active participants in the volunteer community that supports all Davis AYSO programs. EXTRA coaches are required to provide volunteer support to the Primary (Fall) Program, and EXTRA families are expected to provide similar support to the Primary and Select Programs.

For more information, please see the Davis AYSO EXTRA Program Guidelines.
