When you enter the large parking lot at the bottom, turn left and drive until you see the field next to the warehouse.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND PLAYERS
Equipment
Junior Uniforms: Players in the younger divisions (U6 & U8) may purchase uniforms at Mt. Kisco Sports located at 7 S. Moger Avenue. The MKAYSO jersey is reversible, blue on one side, white on the other. Players may not wear rings, watches, chains, necklaces, earrings or jewelry of any sort during play.
Travel Uniforms: Players may purchase travel team uniforms from Mount Kisco AYSO. The kit includes two shirts (white and blue), blue shorts and blue socks. The price is $30. Players may not wear rings, watches, chains, necklaces, earrings or jewelry of any sort during play.
Shoes: Soccer cleats may also be purchased at Mt. Kisco Sports or any other athletic/department store. Also consider looking at used sporting goods stores for excellent deals on lightly used equipment.
Shin Guards: Players MUST WEAR shin guards at all practices and games. This is a national rule. Being accidentally kicked in the shins by a pair of cleats is no laughing matter. NO EXCEPTIONS! These can also be purchased at Mt. Kisco Sports or other athletic stores.
Parent Participation
We need your support and participation. Attend practices and games. We have provided the Mt. Kisco library with books, video tapes and reference materials about the game of soccer. Check out a book and learn the rules! When attending games, cheer for all players on both teams as well as your own child. Talk to your child's coach about ways you can volunteer during the season. There are all sorts of opportunities available.
Practice and Attendance
Please make sure you arrive ON TIME for practice and games. Wear your uniforms and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated! See above for the practice schedule. All Travel Team games (boys and girls U10, U12 and U14) which play other regions in Westchester County are scheduled for Sunday afternoons.
Referees
AYSO refs are entitled to respect from coaches, players, and spectators. Referee's calls should be accepted without complaint. Many refs have a child playing and they happily give their time to help out. Please show them the respect they deserve!
AYSO Philosophy
We subscribe to AYSO's philosophy of encouraging the growth of soccer while promoting positive child development. We are also committed to providing a "child-safe" program where children can develop in a safe, fair and fun environment. Although we naturally want our children to win, this desire should not be pursued to the exclusion of good sportsmanship, fair play and participation. BE A GOOD SPORT AT THE GAMES! Cheer on your child and support his/her efforts and those of the coach and team. ENJOY . . .
