2022 Section 5 Games Information

SECTION 5 GAMES REGISTRATION IS OPEN

What are the Section 5 Games?

At the end of our Fall season we play a tournament for all of the teams in AYSO Area 5C, which covers North Alabama. The Section 5 games are for all of the teams in Area 5 (AL, NC, SC, TN, AR, LA, GA, and parts of KY and FL) to come together and play in a tournament format. This gives players the option to play highly competitive games against other non-club teams from across the southeast.

Where are the Section 5 Games?

The games are being hosted by Area 5C for 2022, being played in Huntsville's Merrimack Park.

When are the Section 5 Games?

The games are held June 17-19, 2022. Games may be played at any time Friday through Sunday - possibly including during the day on Friday and before noon on Sunday.

Who is eligible to play?

Any player who has played for AYSO Region 498 in either Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. If a player from another region wishes to play in the tournament, they must contact the 498 Regional Commissioner for clearance to play.

How much does it cost?

The registration fee for Section 5 games is $45 per player. In the event that you register and pay and either your age group does not have enough players for a team or you are not chosen for a team, you will be refunded the fees.

Uniforms

You will use the same uniform that you used in the Fall or Spring season during this tournament.
In the case that two players have the same number, your coach will discuss options for replacing a jersey.
