Who Can Play?

How Much Does It Cost?

By far the best soccer value around!  For most divisions, 5U-19U (kids born between 8/1/2007 and 7/31/2022):

(*The city requires us to collect an extra $90/player from non-residents, despite the fact that we love our neighbors every bit as much as our Burlingame-based players.  100% of these funds are passed along to the city as required.)

The 4U division (kids born between 8/1/2022 and 9/19/2023) has different pricing:
$150 for Burlingame residents, $240 for non-residents.
(If your child was born on or before 9/18/2023, we will look forward to playing with them in a future season, perhaps even the spring of 2027.)

Financial assistance is available, and no player will be excluded from AYSO soccer due to insufficient funds. Please email [email protected] to apply.

Volunteer Participation

The AYSO runs on volunteers—parents like you, parents like us ... we're what makes it so special! When you step up as a coach or referee, you're not just helping make the season possible—you’re becoming part of your child’s experience in a truly meaningful way. No prior experience is needed—we provide all the training and support you’ll need. Whether you're on the sidelines guiding a team or on the field helping keep the game flowing, your presence makes a difference for every kid out there. Volunteering is rewarding, fun, and a great way to connect with the Burlingame community.  (You know how they say it's hard to make friends as an adult?  You're virtually guaranteed to make friends by joining us!)

All 10U teams require referee points to advance to the Burlingame Cup. In addition, players who wish to participate in other post-season tournaments will be required to have parent-referees to help at the tournaments.

Other Important Fall Season Events

• FREE Pre-Season Soccer Clinics!
  •  Our visiting UK coaches will host free pre-season clinics for registered 5U-10U players every evening (Monday-Friday) during the weeks of August 11th and August 18th.  No sign up required, just drop in for one or all!
• FREE Fun Fridays!
  •  Every Friday during the regular fall season, our UK coaches will host "just for fun" scrimmages after school for kids in our 7U-14U divisions.  (Separated by age.)  They're a great opportunity to play with friends and classmates, and get some extra touches in.  Simple, fun, low-pressure play -- exactly what the kids want.
• Photo Days
  •  Photo Days are ** DATES TBD ***. Teams will be assigned to one of those days. There is no make-up day.
• Double Header Weekend (10U-14U only)

• Volunteer Surprise Event!
  •  For the volunteers who help run this amazing Burlingame community soccer program, we have a surprise event to be announced later!  Date TBD -- but volunteer today!  (You don't want to miss this event, and we can almost guarantee you'll have a blast volunteering.)
• Paul De Sienna Burlingame Cup (10U-14U only)
  • Burlingame's infamous end of season tournament for 10U-14U divisions, held on the weekends of October 31st (group play) and November 7th (semi finals and finals).

  • Teams that win will go on to represent Burlingame in (free) tournaments in December! 

 
Registration Priority

• Children of coaches/referees/volunteers/field liners have priority; first come, first serve otherwise.
•  Divisions do fill up, so please register today if you want your child to be able to participate.
  

Waitlists

• Occasionally, we have so many players register that it exceeds the number of teams we have volunteer coaches for.  In these situations, we may waitlist players until we can find a roster spot for them.
• No payment is due if your player is put on the waitlist.
• You will receive an email when your player is removed from the waitlist, at which time you will need to return to your account to pay.  (Please watch for the email - if we don't get a reply after a few days, we will have to cancel your order and move on to the next waitlisted player.) 
• The best way to ensure that your player isn't waitlisted is to volunteer - please consider it!  No experience is necessary and we provide all the training and support you need.
  

Team Assignments, Practices & Games

Team assignments will be made after registration closes on June 30th and we have confirmed that we have enough coaches to create teams.  We expect to release rosters in mid-July but we can't finalize any team until all teams are finalized, and we can't finalize teams until we have enough coaches to assign all players to teams.

If we are approaching the first week of practices without enough coaches, players that registered last will not be assigned to teams.  Players with parents volunteering as coaches or board members will always have a spot on a team.

4U - 6U teams have one hybrid practice/scrimmage session on Saturdays at Washington Park
7U - 19U teams practice once a week with one match per week (*except for the 10U-14U double header weekend)
Practice times and field locations are based on coach and field availability.

Team assignments are final. A coach cannot change a player's team assignment and cannot add players to any team. (Violation of this rule will result in immediate removal from any involvement in our soccer program.) We reserve the right to adjust teams to maintain team balance.
Team assignments are not based upon school schedules, carpool needs, or any criteria other than achieving balanced teams.

Practice and Game Attendance

One of the core philosophies of AYSO is "Balanced Teams." We balance teams at the beginning of the season to promote fun play for all. If there are players on the team that have other commitments and don't show up very often, this creates a negative experience for the team, and ultimately for the opposing team. Not having a full roster on game day can lead to unbalanced teams and often leads to teams not having enough players to field a full team, or no subs on a hot day.  If your player does not expect to attend many games, please consider the effect on their team before registering.

FAQs

AYSO "Playground" is a child development program. The objective of this program is to help develop a child’s Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) in collaboration with parents or guardians, using soccer as a common thread. Children should be exposed to a wide base of FMS in their early years to provide a solid foundation for future physical activities and sports. For this 7- week program we will be doing activities centered on the basics such as running, jumping, balancing and kicking in addition to activities which more resemble soccer.

Generally speaking, FMS can be grouped into the following categories:
Locomotor (running, hopping, skipping, etc.)
Non-Locomotor (balancing, and twisting, etc.)
Object-Control (Catching and throwing, kicking, etc.)

• Walking before running.
• Balancing before twisting and rotating.
• Rolling a ball before underarm throwing a ball.
• Stopping a rolling ball before catching a ball.
• Jumping before skipping.

• Standing on one foot is necessary for kicking or controlling a ball.
• Underarm throwing facilitates awareness of passing by learning to face a target, knowing
release point, following through and recognizing ball flight.
• Twisting and rotating is necessary for dribbling and eventually passing an opponent.
• Catching leads to tracking and trapping of the ball.

The safety of our players and community are our first priority. If it becomes unsafe to start or continue with the Season, we will cancel. It is our intention to support as robust a refund as possible on any amounts should the season be cancelled. Please note that depending upon the date of cancellation, certain non-refundable costs may have been incurred, including player fees paid to AYSO National, uniforms costs, volunteer background check fees, and other non-refundable expenses.
