How to Register

Click on the Register Now button at the top right of our website. 

Scroll to the row with the division (age group and gender) for the player you are registering for and click on the ‘+ Register Now’ button at the end of that row. If you are registering more than one player, pick any one to start with.

• If your player has previously played with Region 44, instead of creating an account, click on the ‘Sign in here!’ link to take you to a login page where you can login with your account credentials.

• If this is the player’s first time with Region 44, you will need to create an account and provide all the information needed to register.

Be sure and complete all the steps and e-sign all the necessary forms to get to the payment page where you can pay with a credit card.

Scholarships & Financial Aid

Our mission is to make the soccer experience accessible to all children. Sunnyvale AYSO offers financial aid scholarships to families in need. Financial aid is solely intended to assist in covering registration fees and cannot be requested to cover other expenses.Financial aid is offered at 50% of the registration fees and does not cover the National Player Fee of $25 or the $3.50 Service Fee.

Withdrawals/Cancellations and Refunds 

If you need to request a refund we can return your registration minus the National ($25) and Service ($3.50) fees or offer credit towards a future season.  Please note the deadlines under key dates listed above for cancellation/refund requests.

In an effort to keep costs low, AYSO is a volunteer-run organization! That said, we still have costs to rent fields, facilities, equipment, storage, uniforms, etc. which is why some fees are non-refundable. 

To request a refund, please fill out the 2026 AYSO Region 44 Refund Request form. 

Volunteering w/ AYSO Region 44

AYSO is an all-volunteer organization and we expect every parent to volunteer in some role to help us provide a successful and fun season for our players. All the coach, referee and board position roles need to be filled before the season starts to have everyone who signs up be able to play. We provide world-class training for all volunteer positions and the earlier you sign up we can reach out to have you fully certified and ready to go before the season kickoff. No prior experience is required for any of the roles. More information on referee and coach volunteering can be found here.
