Westchester AYSO Amateur League (WAAL) region 5021
Westchester AYSO Amateur League (WAAL) region 5021 was established June 28, 2005. The purpose of this Adult League is:
to create a sense of belonging to "a league of our own" for several groups of pickup games in different Westchester towns
to assure future access to field space as an organized league
to provide insurance certificates for the owners of those fields, and
to provide insurance coverage, ID cards and uniforms for the players.
It will also be both a source and practice opportunity for AYSO coaches and referees.
There are currently 20 other AAL's in the US and future direction of development is wide open. We play year-round and just started our third season. The minimum age is 19 (younger players can play in AYSO's core program and USASA's minimum age is 19), but the bulk of the players will be 30+ and co-ed. We basically cover Westchester county (AYSO's Area 3T), so players can participate in games in multiple towns. Those towns (with or without affiliations to current AYSO regions) are led by a "team manager".
In August 2007, AYSO's NBOD formed the "Adult Task Force", to study the possibility of a viable Adult League. Awaiting their results, we have decided to lower our fees for 2007/2008, to a bit more than the insurance, and no more uniforms. Contact Zev Fixler to be put on the mailing list for playing dates, times and locations (indoor and outdoor).
Players, coaches and refs (except USSF refs) must sign the registration form/waiver, and provide a legible copy of their driving license. Insurance is provided through (US Amateur Soccer Association, of which AYSO is a national affiliate. We cannot register through eAYSO yet. Send this with payment (check made out to "AYSO region 5021") to:
