(Last updated on 9/14/2021)
The Chappaqua AYSO board is hard at work in order to make the 2021 season a reality. This won’t be soccer as usual, but we believe that working together with our parents we can provide an outlet for our kids to have some fun outdoor activity, and do it in a safe way. This page will be updated frequently as we learn more and our plans evolve. Check back often.
What special precautions is Chappaqua AYSO taking?
We will follow and comply with guidance from New York State, Westchester County, the CDC, AYSO National and the Chappaqua Central School District. We’ll need strict adherence by parent-volunteers and families.

What will it look like on the field? Will there be competitive games?
- AYSO National has provided detailed training plans and drills that spread the kids out and focus on skill development.
- There will be competitive games
What role do the parents play?
- Parents must complete an online Health Screening Form prior to each day’s soccer. One form for each person stepping on the field.
- All parents are expected to follow our guidelines and will help enforce off-field and sideline distancing.
- We can’t allow drop-offs. If your child shows signs of illness or self-reports as not feeling well they will need to leave the field immediately.
- We need coaches and coordinators. AYSO is a volunteer organization. Without our parent volunteers our kids can’t play. Contact us more more information at info@chappaquaayso.org or ask any AYSO coach you know.
What if a child (or coach) on my team tests positive for corona virus?
We will follow the state and county protocols for contact tracing and comply with quarantine orders.
