Extra Commitment Letter

Jump to Commitment Letter Acceptance

Dear EXTRA Families,

Congratulations and welcome to the 2026–2027 EXTRA Team!

Earning a spot on this team is a tremendous accomplishment. Selection to EXTRA is not automatic — it is earned. Your player stood out through skill, effort, coachability, and heart. We saw dedication throughout tryouts, and we are proud to offer your family a place in one of the most competitive and respected programs in our region.

Being selected means we believe your player is ready to compete at a higher level, train with greater intensity, and represent Region 76 with pride. EXTRA is not just another team — it is a commitment to growth, discipline, teamwork, and excellence.

With this opportunity comes responsibility. EXTRA is a competitive program and requires full commitment from both players and families.

Family Commitment

Every EXTRA family plays an important role in the success of the team. Volunteer service is required throughout the season and will be coordinated within your team. This is separate from Sportsmanship Cup obligations. EXTRA families are leaders within the region, and we expect your support not only for your own team but also for the Core program. Our success depends on families who are engaged, reliable, and invested.

Financial Commitment

Participation in the Region 76 EXTRA program requires:

• Fall EXTRA program registration fee: $575 per player (pricing shown is for the Fall EXTRA program registration fee).
• In addition to what is provided by AYSO Region 76, each family must purchase required items to maintain Region and team uniformity. Region 76 will direct families to the approved vendors and provide guidance throughout the ordering process. Families must purchase:
  • Full standard uniform kit (approx. $195): Black, White, and Orange jerseys; Black and White shorts; Black, White, and Orange socks.
  • EXTRA gear package (approx. $185 total): Region 76 EXTRA warm-up jacket, Region 76 EXTRA warm-up track pants, and the Region 76 EXTRA Adidas backpack.
• If the team advances beyond playoffs and continues into Spring tournaments, an additional seasonal fee will apply. The amount will vary depending on age group and tournament selection.

These fees support tournament entries, field costs, referees, uniforms, equipment, and the overall competitive experience.

Player and Parent Commitments

EXTRA must be your player’s first soccer priority.

Your child has been selected with the understanding that he or she will not participate in a Club program during the Fall EXTRA season. Both programs require significant time and dedication, and it is not realistic to meet the obligations of both. If a player joins a Club program after accepting an EXTRA position, they should expect to forfeit their place on the team.

By accepting an EXTRA roster spot, players and families agree:

• Attendance and communication: Attend all practices, games, and tournaments on time and prepared. If illness, injury, or an emergency arises, notify the coach as early as possible.
• Support the referee program: Parents must volunteer to referee at tournaments or serve in other team volunteer roles. Region 76 will provide certification training if needed.
• Sportsmanship and conduct: Conduct yourselves with integrity at all times. You represent Region 76 at every game and tournament. Respect for referees, opponents, coaches, and tournament officials is mandatory. A parent’s behavior may directly impact a player’s standing on the team.
• Respect coaching decisions: Follow all coaching decisions, including positions played, playing time within tournament guidelines, and tactical direction.
• Regional authority: Comply with decisions made by the Regional Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner, Postseason Director, EXTRA Coordinator, and Regional Board.

Accountability

Commitment matters. Failure to meet the expectations above may result in consequences including reduced playing time, removal from tournament rosters, suspension, loss of future eligibility, restrictions on parent attendance, or other action deemed appropriate by the Commissioner.

These standards exist because EXTRA is a privilege. We are building competitive teams that demand focus, discipline, and unity.

This season will challenge your player — and help them grow. It will develop them technically and mentally, strengthen them as teammates, and require effort on training nights, resilience after tough losses, and humility in victory. It will also bring pride, development, friendships, and moments they will never forget.

We are excited about what lies ahead for the 2026–2027 season. More information regarding practices, schedules, and team events will be shared soon.

Thank you for your trust, your commitment, and your dedication to the program. Let’s make this season something special.

With pride and excitement,
Rodney Yashouafar
EXTRA Coordinator
