AYSO National requires that every player, in every region, pay an annual membership fee. The AYSO National membership fee is separate from the local registration fee. It is of utmost importance as it provides the mandatory insurance coverage for players, and it must be paid before a player may participate in any AYSO program or event. The fee for the membership year that runs August 1st. to July 31st every year is $20.00. No matter what time during the membership
year a player registers, it expires on July 31 and must be renewed each year.
The $20 fee appears in the shopping cart at the very end of the checkout and is a separate line item. It is non-refundable and non-transferable. Even if your player unregisters from a program, the $20 cannot be refunded. That is how National AYSO set up the program.
