The kids playing AYSO soccer in Oak Ridge this fall will be sporting new uniforms—featuring the classic Oak Ridge color palette that includes maroon, silver, and white.
The local AYSO Region Board listened to feedback from parents and the community that the uniform style that’s been worn for years would benefit from an update. While considering options for a new uniform style, a factor that stood out as important was to have uniforms that create an AYSO identity that links to the Oak Ridge community. The new jerseys will echo the colors associated with high school sports in our community, and the new jersey style brings a fresh, modern design to our AYSO teams.
With the start of the new soccer season in September, local AYSO players will get to wear these new jerseys and new colors—both for their home games in Oak Ridge, as well as for the away matches that the older age groups play throughout East Tennessee.
Families wishing to register their children for the fall AYSO season will be able to do so on Thursday, July 28, from 5-7 p.m. at the AYSO Office at 1990 Oak Ridge Turnpike (next to United Grocery Outlet on the corner of Louisiana and Oak Ridge Turnpike) in Oak Ridge. Additional registration opportunities will be held on Saturday, July 30, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m., and on Thursday, August 4, from 5-7 p.m.
