Practice Information
Practice Locations (6U-8U)
6U-8U teams may practice at AYSO-approved parks and schools within Chino
Hills city limits. Because approval varies by site, coaches should
contact their Division Coordinator to confirm that AYSO has permission to
use their preferred park or school before scheduling practices.
When selecting a practice location, coaches are encouraged to choose a
park with restroom access and to plan ahead for the fall time change.
Most neighborhood parks do not have lights, so practices later in the
season may need to be scheduled earlier in the afternoon to ensure
adequate daylight.
Practice areas at approved locations are not assigned and operate on a
first-come basis. No division has priority over another.
Practice Duration
- 6U-8U teams may practice up to 2 hours per week.
- Typical sessions run 45-60 minutes.
Scheduling
- Coaches choose their own practice days and times.
-
After teams are formed, coaches will contact families with their
practice schedule and location.
