AYSO Evanston runs three programs: Core, EPIC and EXTRA.
Core
Our core program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement, and learning that happens on the fields. AYSO is best known for our core program – it’s where the large majority of kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime. This is our primary program.
EPIC (formerly VIP)
AYSO is proud to offer a special program for children and adults with physical or mental disabilities. Our EPIC program provides a safe, fun environment with trained coaches and volunteers who facilitate an enriching experience that the players and their families will cherish forever.
EXTRA
EXTRA is a program that offers soccer for players who want to play at a more competitive level. Club soccer teams are a competitive soccer option, but for those who want to play harder, develop more as a player, and still be a part of AYSO,
EXTRA is perfect. AYSO’s core philosophies are still in place: everyone on the team plays at least 50 percent of each game; selection to teams is based on open and fair evaluations.
