Thank you for a great Season

Thanks to all the kids, parents, referees, and coaches who participated this season.  We had 256 players this year and hope to have as many or more next year, so we hope to see you all there.  Check back in May for registration information.

If you were not able to attend the awards ceremony on Saturday, your child's coach should have their medal.  Please contact them for that.

Thanks to All Sound DJ for providing the music and sound for our awards ceremony.  And to Western Drug and Woodland Building Center for their donations to our scholarship fund.

Playoff Schedule

Saturday, October 6 Games

For both U-10 and U-12/14, the losers from each game on Sept. 29 will play at 8 am on their respective fields and the winners will play at 9:30 am.


For ALL teams, U-6 through U-12/14 there will be an awards ceremony at 11 am along the west fence by the parking lot.  We encourage all parents to please stay and have your child there because this is where they will be receiving their medals.  We will do it by team and not kid so it shouldn't take too long.  Thanks again for all the support this season, we hope you all have enjoyed it so far.

Due to Road Construction

We had to change our schedule this season.  I have changed it on the post Game Schedules.  Sorry to do this mid-season, but I literally just found out about it this morning.  As you all have noticed, Brown St. right in front of the school has been under construction and they are paving it on the 15th.  Good News: it will be done!  Bad news: we can't have games that day because the road will be closed making the fields inaccessible.  We have just moved all the games back a week so the season will finish on October 6th now.  So on your schedule, the games on the 15th will be played on the 22nd, the ones on the 22nd on the 29th and so on.  We will still be having our closing awards ceremony and it will be on October 6th now at 11 am (or right after the last game of the day).  Thanks for all your support!

Game Schedules

You will all receive a paper copy from your child's coach, but I will post it here as well.  Please note that the older two groups will now be playing at 8 am and 9:30 am this year.  This will allow for a little warm-up time and the games won't be going over.

Let the Games Begin!

We are finally ready to start the season.  The coaches are trained and have been given their rosters and should be calling all of you to remind you of Meet the Coaches on Saturday, August 11, 9 am at the RVES soccer fields.  Please come to that, it is a good time to have your child meet their coach and teammates and find out when practice will be held and they will also be getting game schedules, uniforms, and if you ordered shin guards or balls you will be picking them up then as well. 

At 9:30 the high school soccer team will start registration for their soccer clinic which will be held right after until noon.  It is $10/kid and they are doing it as a fundraiser for their program so if you can, please support them in this effort.

We really appreciate everyone that has volunteered to be a coach, we couldn't do it without you!

You CAN still register your child

until Aug. 11,  but it will now cost $55/ 1st child and $50 for 2nd or more child.  We charge this because we have already split teams and are ordering uniforms and it just makes up for the cost of having to keep changing our numbers and ordering uniforms late.  We are sorry for this, but appreciate your understanding.

Soccer Schedule

Some have been asking about the soccer schedule so here is a tentative one.

• May 26 & June 2: Registration at the library
• June 30: Last day to get early bird pricing.  If you missed one of the registration dates, then contact a member of the board to pay, Becky Boone, Elizabeth James, Cassie Morris, Cassie Eagar, Heather McCall, or Mary Ann Adair.
• July 23-27: Professional British Challenger Soccer Camp, must sign up through them, see here
• Saturday, August 11: Meet the coaches, 9 am at the RVES fields
• If you ordered shin guards or soccer balls you will be getting them this day
• Saturday, August 11: 9:30-noonish, right after Meet the Coaches, the RVHS soccer team will be conducting a soccer clinic for the kids, coaches, and refs.  The charge for kids will be $10 each as a fundraiser for their team.  The HS coaches will also be hosting a free coach's clinic that we strongly recommend all coaches planning to attend.
• August 18, 8am: first games will begin
• September 29: Last games and this year we will be having an awards ceremony.  It will either be before the games or after the games, still to be decided.

Filling out application online

If you missed all 3 registration days, then you have until June 30 to register online using the instructions below and bring (to one of the board members) or mail 1 copy per child of the signed application and registration fees, which are $40/first child, $35/second child, $30 third and more.  We accept check payable to AYSO or cash.  Mail it to Becky Boone PO Box 1382 Eagar, AZ 85925. 

We are also still accepting orders for shin guards and soccer balls for those that are interested.  We are charging the same price or cheaper than both Alco and Wal-Mart and it is a fund-raiser for our region, so if you need them, we would love for you to go through us.  See here for more info.
