Patch Blog: AYSO Region 88 Registration This Saturday

Soccer sign ups are this Saturday at Rosemont Middle School. A quick pleasant process followed by a fun-filled season.

We have been playing soccer with AYSO Region 88 for a few years now. If you count up all the kids and separate seasons, then I think it reaches about a dozen seasons.  

Our first time at sign ups was a nightmare. But I think it was mostly because I was unprepared. I mean, who knew you would need a birth certificate for a 4-year-old to play soccer. Well I know now. This year I was ready. I was organized. I pre-registered in February and I showed up at 9 a.m. at to sign up all three kids for soccer. I had forms, a checkbook and a birth certificate (you only need one the first year they play).

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Girls U19 soccer team set up on the grass outside of Rosemont with not only a bake sale, but soccer balls and small goals. They encouraged me to leave the children outside with them while I went in--alone--to sign up. Um, yes please!

I stood in a very short line, quietly, with no one tugging on me or fighting. I quickly signed up the three children, wrote my check and left, all within 10 minutes. The kids were sad to leave their little soccer clinic so I plied them with cookies. It was the easiest sign up I have ever done.

If you still haven't signed up for soccer go to Rosemont Middle School Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Be sure to go to www.AYSO88.org beforehand and print all the necessary forms. Hopefully the U19 girls will be there with cookies and soccer balls again!
