General Instructions

  • Practices start Tues. Sept. 3, 2024.
  • If your regularly scheduled practice is on Monday, you’ll miss your first practice on 9/2 due to Labor Day, so you can make it up any day that week at the Rose Bowl Area H after 5 pm – click here for details. 
  • Practice is once per week for everyone (except 19U). Practice only at your assigned day, field and time. Practicing outside your assigned, permitted fields risks all of our permits and our players’ safety. Coaches who violate this policy will be suspended – no exceptions.
  • For locations and field layouts, find your field at the FIELDS page. Note the layout of specific practice spaces – we have new ones every year. Work with other coaches to create spaces. If for some reason we mistakenly assigned the same space to two teams, e-mail practice@ayso13.org, and Kellie will work it out. 
  • If someone outside of AYSO encroaches on your space – pick-up games, public users, etc. – note that Region 13 has permits for the field you have been assigned, so you are within your rights to ask people to move. Be courteous!
  • If you encounter problems that need immediate resolution (locked gate, no lights, etc.) text Marco @ 818-468-3693. Generally things work, but sometimes mistakes happen. We are guests on all fields, and must behave accordingly. Do not damage the field owner’s property (e.g., force open locks, remove fences, etc.). Coaches, players, etc. should not climb fences to access a field, even if we do have permits. This is still trespassing.
  • For longer-term problems (broken sprinkler, grass needs to be cut, etc.) report the issue here.
  • Look to see if there are any special Instructions under the field’s name on the FIELDS page. This will contain anything specific you need to know about the field’s lights, gates, parking, etc. Questions? E-mail practice@ayso13.org.
  • Individual practices are not rescheduled. If a coach must miss practice, a properly trained and certified assistant / substitute must be present to hold practice.
  • If you notice empty space next to your field, you may use it, temporarily. Share with others as needed. Just be aware that such space may not always remain available. If you’re lucky enough to spread out for a couple weeks, don’t be surprised if a team then shows up there later in the season. We often need space mid-season for teams displaced from other spots. The only space you have a right to is the specific one you are assigned.
