Online Registration

Players and Volunteers
All ASA Soccer Clubs will use online player
registration this season. All club websites soon
will have links to online registration.
Online registration is easier for families --
they enter family and player data just once. They
can pay by debit card, credit card or check.
Online registration reduces workload for our
volunteer club and team managers. Team formation is
easier. Coaches get printed team rosters.
The paper
ASA Registration Form is still available for
families that don't have access to a computer.
