Recreational Players (U8 - U19)

  • Participants in the U8 through U19 program will play nine to 10 games on Saturdays. Teams are coached by parent volunteers. For development of player skills, West Valley league offers the help of professional trainers associated with MLS Camps (the official youth soccer camps of San Jose Earthquakes) at no cost to the teams. Throughout the season, the league will hold skill development clinics at a discounted price for all of its players. 
  • Registration fees are $135 for all ages.
  • Registration closes on July 15.
  • Registration fee includes USYSA membership fee, uniform (shirt, shorts, and socks), injury insurance, referee for the games, participation award, and a picture package. 

Registration is handled according to USYSA guidelines.  Regardless of the playing level, a USYSA Membership (registration) form must be completed and signed by the parent or legal guardian.  Following items are required for registration.

  1. Complete the registration form. Please list the players name as it appears on their birth certificate. Be sure and sign the registration form in two places. You must sign in the box marked IMPORTANT that you will follow the rules and regulations of US Youth Soccer. The second signature is in the Consent For Medical Treatment box. Registration forms will not be complete until both signatures are obtained.
  2. Copy of their birth certificate. If your child played in the WVYSL last season then this should already be on file with the league. If you have any doubts please send another copy with your registration. Also, if the birth certificate is in a foreign language and you have a passport for the child, please send a copy of the passport instead.
  3. Player Photo. The photos are used on the player pass card and must meet the District Registrar’s criteria. The photo should be a 1” x 1” square of the players head. It cannot be a side view. There are no hats or sunglasses allowed, even if the hat is back on their head. No Polaroid photos are allowed.
  4. Correct registration fee (see fees below). Make checks payable to WVYSL.

Registration form can now be downloaded from here. You can complete the form and mail it with required items to complete the registration. 

Financial assistance is available for players in need. Please submit a written request to the league.

West Valley league is 100% volunteer organization. We need parent volunteers to coach, as well as run the league. If you are interested in helping, please talk to us at the registration or contact us by email to secretary@wvysl.org.

Registering to Coach a Recreational Team

If you intend to coach a recreational team, please obtain a coach registration form 1628 from here. 

Team Placement for Recreational Players

Registration is on a "first-come, first-served" basis. A player is assigned to a team based upon the date of registration and coach availability for the age group of the player. If an insufficient number of coaches volunteer, the players with later registration dates will be placed on a waiting list for the appropriate age group. 

If a parent volunteers to coach or assistant coach, their child player is placed on their team regardless of the player’s registration date.

Same team friend request

If a player has a request to be on the same team as his or her friend every effort will be made to make this happen. However, we cannot guarantee that a request can be honored. Write your request on the top of the registration form.

Same team coach request

If a player has a request for a particular coach, provided this coach is registered to coach, coaching the same age group, boys or girls every effort will be made to make this happen. However, we cannot guarantee that a request can be honored. Write your request on the top of the registration form.

Playing Time for Recreational Players

WVYSL instructs its recreational coaches to give every player at least 50% playing time in every game. Exceptions may be made for disciplinary reasons, after consulting with the parent.
