BIRTH YEAR REGISTRATION Starting in Summer 2024, FYSA moved to a birth year registration for all age levels. The official governing organization of soccer in the United States, US Soccer, mandated this change in 2017. This article explains why US Soccer made the change as a part of its Player Development Initiative. The matrix included article to determine current division is outdated. A correct matrix for FYSA for Fall 2024 is below. Please note that the matrix has updated with the start of the school year, therefore players may be in a different age group than they played in during the summer.

Schedules are not finalized until after regular registration closes. This allows FYSA the opportunity to evaluate the registration numbers in each age division and determine appropriate gym space and practice times for each team. FYSA is not able to provide estimated times or locations for any of our youth divisions prior to the release of schedules on January 3rd. To assist in your schedule planning for you player we have provided the estimated practice days for each division. Please note North Pole teams only practice in North Pole, all games are located in Fairbanks.
Gear pick up and purchase can be done the week of January 6th Tuesday through Thursday 3PM-8PM at the FYSA office.
FYSA has an advanced recreational division for players in our U10 and U12 divisions. This league is designed for players seeking a little bit more challenge in their soccer experience. For more information about the Midnight Sun FC division click here.

Every season our number one worry is whether we will have enough coaches or not. Being a non-profit organization we greatly depend upon volunteers in order for our season to be successful. We don't expect every parent to volunteer each season, but we do highly encourage you to consider it at least once. For more information, click here.
FYSA highly suggests you download the SportsEngine app through any app store for free to stay up to date with your team's game and practice schedule. Many teams also choose to use the team messaging function that is easily accessible through the app. Be sure to use the same username that you used when registering your player.
