Kentwood AYSO 2025/2026 Season Information Page
Registration is on a first come first serve basis. Once a division is full, we can not add any players until we find more coaches. So sign up ASAP. If you're interested in coaching your kids team, email [email protected] for more information.
Go to the bottom of the page for up to date availability in each age division.
Winter Futsal Information
Many (if not all) futsal divisions will fill up fast. Please register right away to avoid the waitlist! We don't want players to burn out. So our futsal program is a low commitment / low cost program to allow players to keep moving, touching the ball, and to get the opportunity to develop their foot skills on a smaller more compact court. Each division will play once a week from 6:30 - 8:00 pm in the Kentwood Public School Gyms. Each night, we will warm up, probably do a drill or two, and then scrimmage. (No scheduled games)
All costs listed below do not include the $25 yearly National AYSO Player Membership fee. It expires yearly in July. If your child did not play in the most recent fall season, you will also have to pay for this membership fee. (Once per child, per year) And likewise if you have to pay the fee now, you will not have to pay it in the spring.

Waiting List
If your child is on a wait list, placement on a team is not guaranteed. We do our best to place as many players from the list as possible. Children are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. We are always looking for more coaches and referees. Volunteering to ref or coach your child’s team will greatly improve their chances of getting placed on a team. Registration for the wait list is free, but make sure you follow through all the way though the free checkout. If your child is placed on a team, you will receive an email with instructions to log into your account and pay the registration fee.
