What ages and program levels does AYSO Region 140 offer?The region runs recreational AYSO soccer from Playground and Schoolyard for ages three and four through 19U for high-school-age players, including 6U for five-year-olds and Core brackets from 7/8U upward. Teams are built around balanced play and open registration rather than tryout cuts for these programs.
About
AYSO Region 140 is the American Youth Soccer Organization local program for Carson City, Nevada. Chartered in 1976, it has welcomed tens of thousands of players from preschool through high school and relies on volunteer coaches, referees, board members, and field helpers to run each season. The region offers community-based recreational soccer rather than a separate paid travel-club track, with teams formed to keep play balanced and inclusive.
Programs and age groups
Kickstart-style programming covers Playground and Schoolyard for ages three and four and 6U for age five. Core divisions continue from 7U–8U through 19U, with age bands that align to 7/8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 19U team groupings so families can follow a single pathway from first touches to high-school-age play. Everyone Plays is part of how AYSO operates: players are expected to receive meaningful time in games, not ride the bench for whole matches.
Where teams play
Home soccer activity centers on Pete Livermore Sports Complex, the city sports complex often called Edmonds, where Carson City Parks and Recreation maintains the fields the region uses. Field assignments vary by division, and families should check field-status notices before heading out, especially when weather or maintenance affects specific pitches. Pets are not allowed inside fenced field areas at the complex; leashed pets may use designated areas outside the fences according to city park rules, and service animals are welcome.
Registration, fees, and help for families
Families sign up through the region’s online registration system before each season’s announced deadline. Standard program pricing is eighty-five dollars for Playground and Schoolyard and one hundred five dollars for all other divisions, with each registration including a full uniform and a soccer ball. Sibling discounts take twenty dollars off the first additional child in the same household and ten dollars off each further sibling. A national player fee (currently twenty-five dollars) still applies in the overall AYSO fee structure and is not covered by scholarship aid. Partial or full scholarships may be available based on need and funds, excluding that national portion; families can request the scholarship application and submission steps from the registrar.
Philosophy, volunteers, and extra events
Region 140 follows AYSO’s six philosophies—Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, and Player Development—so the emphasis stays on fun, fairness, and steady skill growth in a family-friendly setting. The region also connects families to coach training, referee education, volunteer onboarding, and local happenings such as the Comstock Shootout tournament and seasonal camp options when they are offered.
