Our House League is designed using a two-year combined age grouping, such as 8U, 10U, etc. Players are eligible for age brackets based on the New USYS Age Matrix that is based on School Year (Aug. 1 - July 31.), provided by the New York State West Youth Soccer Association. In the House League, players are required to play within their Age Matrix. Players new to ASA may be asked to provide proof of age upon registration.
EQUIPMENT
All players will be required to purchase an Amherst Soccer Association House uniform kit. Current uniforms will be in use through June 2027. Uniform kits can be ordered during registration. The uniform kit includes a red jersey, white jersey, shorts and socks. IF YOU ARE ORDERING A NEW UNIFORM, YOU NEED TO ADD THAT PURCHASE DURING REGISTRATION UNDER FEATURES PRIOR TO CHECKOUT.
Additionally, all players must wear shin guards under their soccer socks, the appropriate soccer shoes (turf or cleats outdoors; flats or turf indoors), bring their own soccer ball (#3 for ages 5-8, #4 for ages 10-12, #5 for ages 13+) and bring water to every practice and game.
PLAY
Eight games are played throughout each session on Saturdays with an occasional Sunday due to holidays, etc. at various locations throughout the Town of Amherst. Game times vary week-to-week between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m and grouped by age bracket. Games are approximately 1 hour in length (2 x 25 minute halves). The schedule will be available and posted ahead of each session.
PRACTICE
During the outdoor sessions, we encourage our volunteer coaches to organize one practice per week at a time and location at the decision of the coach. Due to the limited space available during the indoor sessions, house teams will not practice.
REGISTRATION
If you are new to Amherst Soccer Association, please create a NEW parent account in GotSport. Once completed, you will then add players.
