LiveScan
On January 1, 2022 California law AB506 came into effect. This state law requires all volunteers working with minors to be fingerprinted as part of the LiveScan program. A few notes on LiveScan:
1. The LiveScan fingerprinting only needs to be done once ever per volunteer organization. Therefore if someone did it from another program, they still need to do it again for AYSO.
2. The LiveScan is in addition to the typical Sterling background check. The LiveScan is only once ever, while Sterling background check is required annually.
3. We will have a LiveScan event at HomeTown days (see below)
4. If you are unable to make any of the hosted LiveScan events, you can do it at any time at a participating UPS store.
5. AYSO will directly cover the cost of the LiveScan at the hosted events. If you go to the UPS store it is $25, but AYSO will reimburse you.

Live Scan at Hometown Days:
1. The LiveScan booth will be open from 11am to 3pm on Saturday only
2. The booth will be located along the third baseline of the softball diamond at Burton Park (near Woodland Ave). It should be next to the AYSO Speed Shot booth.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT DIVISIONS:

The AYSO fall league starts the weekend after Labor Day for the 4U - 6U, late August for 7U - 14U, and early August for the 16U/19U division. The season runs until early November for most divisions.

4U/Playground
The 4U playground program focuses on basic motor skills in a soccer oriented fun environment. The program is conducted by our guest professional coaches and is designed by child development and soccer experts to give your child a foundation for sports success. Your player will hop, skip, jump, run throw, balance, kick.....and play. There no actual soccer games. The group meets on Saturday mornings for an hour, typically around 9 am.

The 5U and 6U programs are also early development programs. Players are divided into teams. The programs consist of a 30 minute practice followed by a 30 minute game on Saturday mornings (there are no weekday practices). 5U typically goes mid-morning on Saturdays, while 6U is late morning or early afternoon (depending on the number of teams). The games are “small-sided” 3v3 or 4v4 and there are no goalkeepers. The ball size is 3. There are no team standings or end of season tournaments.

10U through 14U
The 10U through 14U divisions have two practices per week and a game on Saturdays. Each team will be given one “early” and one “late” practice time. 10U and 12U also have two tournaments during the season. After Daylight Savings the teams will only have their “early” practice once a week. The 12U & 14U divisions may have games scheduled with other regions within AYSO Area 2N.

The 10U games are “small-sided” 7v7. A player may be a goalkeeper for 1 or 2 quarters per game and must fulfill the 3 quarter per game rule by playing in another position. The ball size is 4. There are no team standings. All teams are eligible for the end of season tournaments.

The 16U and 19U divisions participate in the ASYO Area 2N Fall League.

SCAYSO follows the FIFA, AYSO, Area 2N and SCAYSO rules for the games. SCAYSO has the “3 quarter per game” rule. Each player on a team has to play 3 quarters before any other player on the same team may play 4 quarters. The total number of players in a given age group and the number of coaches have an affect on our ability to maintain this rule.

Fall League Tournaments

Knickerbocker-Masters Cup Tournament (10U - 14U)
In the winter of 1969 only about one hundred AYSO players could be found scattered across Northern California . AYSO came to San Carlos in 1974, with just a few teams, under Emmett MacCorkle. In 1976, the San Carlos Region was chartered under the national organization by Dick Knickerbocker and was recognized to operate within the city boundaries of the City of San Carlos .

In 1991, for the first time, San Carlos had over 1,000 children in the program, and currently we have grown to approximately 1,500 kids! We are the beneficiaries of the effort, skill, know-how, good will and wonderful positive attitudes of many people over the years.

The Knickerbocker-Masters Cup Tournament is intended to celebrate those individuals. This annual tournament was named after Dick Knickerbocker who served as commissioner for seven years and Bob Masters who was on AYSO’s board for 8 years and was Regional Commissioner from 1986 to 1988.

Starting in 2008, a new Knickerbocker-Masters Cup Tournament format was created for the 10U division. Each team now plays 4 shorter games in a round-robin group stage format with points awarded to each team rather than just a simple victory or defeat. The end result is a full day of fun for all 10U players and their families. The 10U Knickerbocker-Masters Cup Tournament is held at Burton Park in October (dates to be determined) with Boys playing on Saturday and Girls playing on Sunday (alternate each year).

San Carlos AYSO City Championship Tournament

The City Championship Tournament is for 10U through 14U Boys and Girls.
