   Survey

Now is your chance to tell us what a great job we did. For those others; you can help us make the league better by telling us how we can improve. Please fill out this short survey, so we can see how we are doing.
There is also a space where you can add your name to volunteer and help us in the future.
Take the survey.



     Volunteers Wanted

Saugerties AYSO Soccer needs your help. The overall success of last season’s recreational program was largely the responsibility of a small handful of dedicated people. Should these few people no longer be able to continue, the program itself would be in serious jeopardy as very few others currently have an understanding of how the program runs.
As the recreational program is growing in size, more adult involvement is needed. No soccer knowledge is necessary. Working with the younger children is very rewarding, and your child would love the fact that you are there to help! If you want to help make a difference, please contact Lorrie at - dmaher3@hvc.rr.com or 246-6037

     Saugerties AYSO / Challenger Soccer Camp


This years soccer camps will be put on by Challenger. The dates for the camps are:
Aug. 11-15.

Check out the Soccer Camp page for all the details.



     Important Rule Change
AYSO has mandated that there will be no goalkeepers in the U8 age group and these games will be played 5v5.

The kids want to be where the action is and at this age it is around the ball. This will provide the opportunity for the children to further develop their running, jumping and kicking coordination. These are valuable traits for all soccer players to develop. The smaller number of players (5v5) takes into account the egocentrism of this age group and therefore allows each child more opportunities for shooting, passing, and dribbling the ball. With fewer players on the field each child has an increased number of contacts with the ball and has more actual playing time. Additionally the players will be required to make more decisions and experience repeated game situations frequently. The involvement of players will be more consistent. While learning both offense and defense, players will become well rounded and will understand more readily the roles and importance of teammates.
