Military Registrations
Military participants receive discounted registration fees for "recreational" soccer, which includes teams other than the Fire Club and Recreational Academy. To qualify for the discounted registration fee, military registrants must : (1) register through the AHFSH online registration program; AND (2) register for soccer through Child and Youth Services ("CYS") by not later than September 17, 2010. Players who have not registered with CYS to play soccer by this date will not receive the discounted registration fee and will be charged the full registration fee.
AHFSH values both the participation of its military members and our relationship with CYS; as such, we encourage all eligible military participants to register as such. Registration with CYS, which also affords military personnel the opportunity to participate in a wide range of other services, requires that your child have a current sports physical examination. There is currently no fee associated with CYS registration.
Additional information regarding CYS services may be found on the Fort Sam Houston MWR website (on the "Soldier & Family Services" page). Information regarding CYS registration may be found under the FAQ section (on the "Helpful Links" page) of the Fort Sam Houston MWR website; that FAQ is also available on the pdf of that page, below. If you have any additional questions regarding CYS benefits or registration, please call Mingo Ramos at 221-5519, or email him at domingo.ramos@us.army.mil.
