EXTRA Program

AYSO EXTRA™ is an optional pilot primary program for players who want to play in a more challenging soccer environment. The EXTRA™ program runs at the same time as the standard primary program – sometimes referred to as "regular" or "core". It is not a post-season, extended primary or secondary program.

The AYSO All Star program is a competition that is an extension of the standard primary program defined in National Policy Statement 2.7. Regions determine a selection process to choose players from the just concluded standard primary program who have played in a recommended minimum of fifty percent of the season's scheduled games. All Star play is confined to competitions which are hosted by the Region, Area and Section. In some Sections, winners go on to compete with neighboring Sections in a championship tournament. The All Star program's duration can be about eight weeks.
