What is HOUSE Soccer?
House League soccer is for recreational play,  for beginners, those who just want a short season, children looking to play a new sport with friends or make new friends, players who enjoy learning some skills and have a little competition and those who think they may want to progress in the sport.
 
House League is for players aged 7U- 19U (please refer to the age matrix) who are placed on teams at two-year age groups (8-10-12, 14 Coed and Coed High School) to practice once a week with a parent coach and play an 8-game season. Parents, please offer to help as we can't accomodate all without you!
 
Do I Need to Buy New House Uniforms?
Every two years, we change our House Uniform, due to availability from manufacturers.  See web for current uniform.  You do not need to buy uniforms for the 6U program or Soccer Shots - your registration includes a t-shirt .
 
 
When and how long are the seasons played?
  • House League is an 8 week program run in the Fall (Sept-Oct), Spring (May-June), and 2 Winter sessions (Nov-Jan;Feb-Mar)
  • Travel Soccer is run the full year beginning with tryouts in July.  Practice starts indoor in November.  Most teams are involved in various indoor leagues from January to April.  Teams compete in the Buffalo & Western New York Junior Soccer League from about May through July.
  • 6U is always a 6 week session (Sept-Nov-Feb-May)

How do I Change My Email Address?
To change your email address for ASA, you need to enter the registration center. Many people get confused by the wording on the registration page which says that you must have a credit card to complete the application. To change your email address you do not need a credit card, only your ASA information. 
 
 
How can I volunteer?
ASA is always in need of volunteers.  We especially need coaches and we will teach you what you need to know. While registering for one of our programs, there is a section to indicate that you are interested in volunteering.  You may also email us at registrar@amherstsoccer.com
