Registration

What is inLeague?

inLeague is a registration platform designed exclusively for and authorized by the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), the national organization that supports GWYSL. inLeague has been serving AYSO for more than 20 years.

Registration

You can register by going to the GWYSL website and clicking the “inLeague Login / Register” button at the top right of the page.  

Please be mindful that we have ONE Registrar for 700+ players, and they will not be able to respond to all your requests. Most of you need to know is included below, so please read carefully. 

Early Registration

Early discounted registration is made available to the active volunteers from the previous season. This includes:

  • Coaches, assistant coaches and team managers

  • Referees (and parents of you referees) who have officiated at least one game in the ref schedule

  • Board members and division coordinators

  • Field painters

  • Those that volunteered for special events

Please note that the discount will only last during the early registration period. Also co-parents of volunteers will not be able to register during this period.

If you believe you should be eligible for early registration but InLeague prevents you from registering, please email registration@gwysl.org with the subject “Early Registration” and include either a screenshot proof or testimony from a board member that you volunteered

Payment

Registration payments are handled via the inLeague registration site (Make sure you have the right region, as multiple AYSO regions in NYC use InLeague). Follow the instructions during the checkout process to make your payment via credit or debit card. You must pay before your child is permitted to play. For payment inquiries, email the Registrar.

Our base fee will be $160.00/season.

This includes the annual NON-REFUNDABLE AYSO membership fee of $25.00. The fee transferred directly from your payment to AYSO National; this happens only once per AYSO Membership Year (August 1, 2024-July 31, 2025). 

Division Full/Waitlist

If you have been placed on a waitlist, it is for one of the following reasons:

  1. There is capacity for more teams and we are waiting for the WL to grow in increments of two teams at a time.

  2. We have enough players for more teams but we don't have enough coaches.

  3. We have reached capacity as limited by field permits, and spots will open up as registered players drop out.

To get on the waitlist, please make sure to complete the registration process at inLeague .  Although not required, we strongly recommend leaving a method of payment to ensure that your player gets a spot as soon as one is available. Your card will not be charged until your player comes off the waitlist. If a spot becomes available, you will be notified via email. There is no need to make inquiries for waitlist status updates.

Please note that players come off the waitlist in order of when they signed up, with the exception that priority is given to those whose parents or guardians have committed to filling a specific coaching vacancy.

What division does my child play in?

Placement in divisions is automatically determined by the birthyear of the player. You can use the following information to match your child's BIRTH YEAR with the DIVISION they will be placed in for the upcoming season.
