YSYSL 2025 Letter to Coaches

Dear Coaches,

We’re excited for another fantastic season and hope to see you back for 2025/26! We have some exciting changes coming your way.

• Coach registration opens March 1st, and player registration opens March 15th. Both will close on June 15th.
• Head and assistant coaches will receive player registration discounts. You may only use the discount once per team you coach, and all legal and safety requirements must be completed to be eligible.
• Players will only be assigned to teams if there are available coaches. Complete your requirements as soon as possible after June 1st. Our state organization begins the new season on June 1st, and anything completed before then will be considered part of the previous season.

Once registered, watch for an email with detailed instructions. If you don’t see it, check your junk folder or GotSoccer settings to ensure messages aren’t being blocked. Your registration is only complete once you go through the full checkout process.

If you were a coach in good standing last season, you will receive a discount code to register your child upfront. We need to confirm returning coaches to determine how many teams we can form. Team formation will begin on July 1st, and players will not be placed until coaches are identified. Late registrations may be the first to be cut if we do not have enough coaches by that time. If you do not register and complete your requirements by June 30th, players may not have a team to play on.

Exciting Metro League Opportunities

We’re thrilled to continue working with District 6 to expand our fall Metro program. We had teams participate in both fall and spring, and we are looking for coaches interested in a low-cost, more competitive Sacramento-area league for YSYSL players. If you’re interested, please reach out to me.

Coaching Education & Prioritization

We plan to offer US Soccer (USSF) 7v7 and 9v9 coaching courses this summer—watch for course dates. Coaches who have completed these courses and hold licenses will be prioritized for player requests. If you hold a USSF license, please include it in your registration form.

U16 & U19 Speed Soccer and Recreational League

Speed Soccer had mixed results, so we are exploring new options. A recreational league for U16 and U19 (11v11) with local and Sacramento-area play is a possibility, depending on registration numbers. We will form teams based on where we have the most players to best support our soccer community. If interested, please email me.

YSYSL Board Openings

We need Area Managers to help build teams and serve as community points of contact. Additional Board positions are also available, including Coach Coordinator and other leadership roles.

The success of our league depends on a variety of skills, not just coaching or playing experience. A soccer season requires many hands, and more involvement makes it easier for everyone. If you're interested in helping, please reach out.

Thank you for being part of our soccer community!
