EXTRA is basically a little extra of everything soccer related.  These teams are formed of kids that want to step up their soccer.   We play separately from the primary teams in order to be allowed to have EXTRA in our region we cannot put a burden on the primary program and therefore will need our own volunteers. 

·        Open registration- teams must undergo new selections each year.  There are no guaranteed roster positions for any player from one membership year to the next with the exception of the coach and assistant coaches’ children. 

·        Everyone plays at least half of every game. 

·        Balanced Teams- if there ends up being more than one team per division, the teams would need to be balanced on both of those teams.

·        Positive Coaching- encouragement of player effort and player development, which ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. 

·        Good Sportsmanship- all players, parents, coaches and other AYSO volunteers in the EXTRA program are expected to adhere to a high standard of conduct and sportsmanship, not a win-at-all costs attitude. 

·        Player Development- players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team. 

·        Players are expected to be to every practice and game!!  The Rarest of exceptions need to be discussed with the coach.  If players do not attend , the coach does have the option in EXTRA to take them off the Roster and place another from the waiting list. 

·        Teams will have 1-2 practices each week depending on their game schedule and one game during the week and may have additional games on Saturdays.   They can typically have 8-10 games a season. The 14U division plays on Monday nights. The 17U division plays on Tuesday nights. The 10U division plays on Wednesday nights. The 12U division plays on Thursday nights. 

·        Games are played against other EXTRA teams in our Area, so we travel for away games.  Depending on the teams from other divisions you could play in Kaysville, Layton, South Ogden, Roy, Huntsville etc. 

·        Extra players in the 14U and 17U divisions are required to take the referee training class and referee at least 5 Core games each season. 

·        The players wear really extra nice uniforms that handle the extra play and look extra sharp.  Each player will receive two full game uniforms (jersey, shorts, and elite soccer socks).  

·        In order for a player to be accepted onto an Extra team, his or her parents will agree to the following rules: Parents will paint fields. Parents will put up and take down nets. Parents will always sit to the left of the center line at games, and always on the correct side of the field as dictated by the coach. Parents will not make comments to or about the referee at any time, even if the referee is completely wrong. Parents will not bring dogs to the field at any time, nor will they allow any other spectators associated with their player to bring a dog. 

·        Money for EXTRA Is NON REFUNDABLE.  Once you submit your payment, it won’t be refunded.  If you quit it will become a donation to the EXTRA Program.   There is a lot of cost involved in EXTRA and there must be commitment in this program.     

What is the Cost?
The total cost is $190. This is the same for every player in EXTRA. These fees cover the 2 uniforms, field fees, team expenses, national fees and AYSO insurance, area and region expenses, and referee thank you cards.
