We don't currently have any in-person registration set up at this time. If any are scheduled, location and Dates will be posted on our home page.
What does it cost to register my child?
The cost is $135 if you register prior to the late registration date. $155 after that date, and $165 for the waiting list (After registraiton closes).
What's the Difference between Recreational and Developmental divisions?
Depending on participation, Alliance will offer 2 different divisions within each age group, recreational and developmental. Each player, coach, and/or team chooses their preferred division they would like to play in during the registration process. Although Alliance would love to provide a great place for every player. Unfortunately, we are not currently accepting elite-level club teams. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your team’s skill level.
Recreational: Our recreational division is designated for players and coaches at the beginner up to intermediate level. This division will be made up of newly formed teams and individual players that are looking to have fun and learn the fundamentals of the game.
Developmental: Our developmental division is designated for players and coaches at the intermediate level. This division will be made up of teams that have played together in the past, are entry-level club teams, and for individual players looking for a more competitive atmosphere. Teams and players in this division are typically looking to progress their team and individual skills in order to advance to the next level of the game.
NOTE: If there are not enough Developmental or Recreational registrations to properly form 2 divisions, the league will combine all players into one division. Players will automatically be placed in the the recreational division.

I've registered my child, now what?
First off, thank you. Now, sit back and relax as we compile all of the registrations. Once the majority of the registrations are in, we will then hand over the team rosters and contact information to the assigned coach. Coaches will then contact you directly a couple of weeks before the start of the season with team and practice details.
I did not receive my email confirmation from Alliance.
Hotmail, AOL, Cox, Yahoo! and Google email addresses are very popular and as a result, receive a large amount of spam or junk email. For this reason, they have junk mail filters that in some cases only allow those email addresses that are in your address book to arrive in your inbox. For this reason, it is important that info@lvasl.org is added to your address book so that you receive important emails from us that relate to your registration or the league.
Should I have received a confirmation email after registering?
Yes. In fact, you should receive two emails. One email will come from us confirming your registration and another for the payment through Authorize.net. If you don't receive these emails, please check your spam folder before contacting us. To ensure that these emails get to you please add "no-reply@lvasl.org" and "emailreceipts@authorize.net" to your contacts.
If my child has friends, classmates or relatives that want to be on the same team, can they?
Yes, absolutely. We encourage players to invite their friends to join their team. Make sure to express each other's names on the registration form under the "Put me on the same team as" field. Also, players must be within the same age division or they will be placed on separate teams without prior notice.
I forgot to request my team when I registered, what can I do?
No worries, just let us know by the team change deadline located on the homepage of our website. The sooner you realize the omission, the better. Just reply to this email and let us know. We'll change it in our system.
When is the last day I can switch teams?
First, if you know what team you want to be on, please put the team name, coach's name, or player's name in the field labeled "Put me on the same team as" on the registration form. We post the team change deadline on the home page of our website. Any changes after this point will only be accepted if a coach requests the transfer of the player. There will be a change of team fee of $30 that will be charged due to reordering a new uniform. There are NO team changes after the first game has been played. We will only consider a team change for special situations.
I was placed on the wrong team, can I change teams?
If you did not request a team at the time you registered, then we might be able to transfer your player with a $30 Chang of Team fee. There are no guarantees we can transfer your player. You can do this up to 1 week prior to the first scheduled game. After this date, we will only accept a change team request on a case-by-case basis. Even then, there will be a $30 fee and will be limited to availability. There are NO team changes after the first game has been played.
When does registration open and when is the last day to register?
We will announce the opening of registration on our website, Facebook, and will send an email to everyone in our database. Be aware there are late registration fees that begin approximately one month prior to the season start. Seasons start in March for the Spring, and September for the Fall. Be sure to sign up for our email list to stay up-to-date on the upcoming seasons.
Does my child need to present a birth certificate to register?
We do not require a birth certificate to register. However, if your child's age is brought into question, the League reserves the right to ask for a school ID or a state-issued birth certificate in order to verify age. Until one is produced, the league can withhold the player from participating in games. All players are required to have a school ID or a state-issued birth certificate available in order to verify age, if requested by league officials.

The League and Game Day
Who Runs Nevada Alliance?
We are a non-profit, recreational and developmental, co-ed youth soccer league. We are run by a very small, part-time staff. Coaches are volunteers and an extension of the League. Coaches set their own practice times, dates, and location. It is their team and they will conduct the team as they see fit within a respectful manner. Coaches are not employed by the league and volunteer their time to the team and your player. Referees are hired by the league to officiate games and closely follow US Youth Soccer rules and regulations.
When will season schedules be distributed?
The latest's season schedule will be available under game details (
HERE) one-two weeks prior to the season start date.
Can I change my child's team if we are unable to attend practices or if we do not like the coach?
Yes, you may change teams as long as there is an open spot available. There will also be a $30 change of Chang of Team fee after the "Change Team Deadline".
Will the league provide uniforms?
Yes, your child will receive a full uniform including jersey, shorts, and socks from Alliance. Your coach or team manager will distribute the uniforms prior to season start. If you register late or change teams after the first order is sent to the manufacture, your uniform may come later than the rest of your team's. Registering early does not guarantee a uniform will be ordered with the first order. If you are waiting for a uniform to come in, please see an Alliance represenative prior to that week's game time. Come about 30 mins early to check.
What happens if I order the wrong size uniform?
Please Make sure you use the size chart provided on the registration page before picking your uniform size. You can also see a size chart on the registration page. If you order the wrong size, the league charges $30 to order a new one. Each season we order new uniforms and don't keep any in stock. So, if we have to order a new uniform, it costs the league $30 to get a new one.
How many games are there and how long is the season?
We plan for 8-10 games over a 10 to 14 week season, however, due to various circumstances seen and unforeseen, we may not be able to provide 8 games (for example; poor weather, park permits or health emergencies). With the possibility of extra playoff games or game cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances.
Where are games played?
We currently have two regions open for registration, so depending on what side of town you live on you can register to play at the Silver Bowl Park on Boulder Highway and Russell (Henderson Alliance) or the North Side Basin at Desert Breeze Park on Durango and Spring Mtn - . (Southwest Alliance).
What are possible reasons for game cancellations?
Although we never want to cancel games, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow for safe and quality game play. Please note, games may be canceled due to the following reasons...
- Lightning within the Las Vegas Valley
- High winds over 25 mph
- Heavy rains
- County Park Closures
What days are practices?
Practice times and dates vary and are dictated by each individual coach. Alliance holds park permits for Monday-Friday from 5:00 - 8:30 pm for practices (with potential CCPR exception days/dates) and Saturdays from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm for games. Practices at other parks or occur outside of permit days/times are at the team's own risk.
Can I request practices days?
No. Unfortunately, we won't know practice times until after registration has ended and past the refund timeline. Most likely, we will not be able to move a player to another team if the practices don't work with your schedule. If we can make the move, there will be a $30 Change Team fee. We won't konw Register a your own risk. Refunds will not be issued if practice times conflict with your scheudle.
Where do practices take place?
The league requires all teams to practice at the permitted fields. A Coach can elect to hold practices at a different location up to a 3-mile radius of the permitted fields. However, the coach needs a unanimous decision/vote from parents to do so. The reason for this is because many parents in the league have multiple players and can't physically be at 2 parks at the same time. The league will NOT move players off of a team because the coach wants to practice elsewhere. If the league receives communication that practices have moved without a unanimous vote, the coach will be instructed to move the practices to the permitted fields. Failure to comply could cause the team to forfeit their games. Practices at other parks or occur outside of permit days/times are at the team's own risk.
Do I need to purchase any equipment?
Yes, players will need... Cleats, Shinguards, a Ball, Practice Socks, and a Water Bottle.
Does Alliance play with 11 players on the field?
No, depending on your child's age, the player's numbers will vary. The youngest age will play 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4 (no goalie) and the oldest kids will play 8 vs. 8 (with goalie).
Does Alliance play on full-size fields?
No, we believe at this level of play it is better for kids to play on smaller fields with a smaller amount of players. This way, players are able to receive the ball a lot more, allowing them to develop their skills sooner.
Is Alliance a co-ed league?
Yes, Alliance is a co-ed league, however, coaches are allowed to form an all-girls or all-boys team. They just need to know that they will be playing against the opposite gender.
Is Alliance a competitive league?
No, Alliance is a recreational and developmental league. However, we do keep scores as well as records of wins, draws, and losses (except for the U6 division). At this time, our skill levels are beginner to intermediate. Coaches are allowed to register an entire team. These players may have been playing together for a few seasons. Alliance is not a club organization.
I want to know about how Photo Day works?
Photo day is usually about halfway through the season. Packets and photo day information are sent to coaches around the second week of games. You don't have to use the league-provided photographer. The league only schedules photo days and does not manage the process of photo production or distribution. It is free to take your photo and is available for purchase through the photography company, Shutterbug Photography.
Q: When will my son or daughter get their picture taken?
A: Pictures will be available on the final day of the season and distributed to each team's coach or team manager. The league will not store or distribute photographs. If you don't receive your photos by the end of the season or there is a problem with your order, please call Shutterbug Photography directly at 702-798-0513.
Q: What packages do they offer?
A: Packages will be distributed to you by your coach. Also, we will send you an email with a copy of the order form. Order forms will be made available on the next game day.
Q: When will we receive our photos?
A: It will take about 2 - 3 weeks to get the pictures back. Photos will be distributed to each team's coach or team manager. The league will not store or distribute photographs. If you don't receive your photos by the end of the season or there is a problem with your order, please call Shutterbug Photography directly at 702-798-0513.
Q: What if I'm unable to pick up the photos, how can I get them?
A: First ask your coach for the photos. If they do not have the photos, please call Shutterbug Photography directly at 702-798-0513.
Q: I ordered one thing and received another. What do I do?
A: Please contact Shutterbug Photography at 702-798-0513 with any issues with photographs.
What should I do if I have a complaint?
If you have a complaint about the league, a volunteer coach, another player, or parent, please email the league at
info@lvasl.org or click on contact in the menu. All complaints must be made via email. Please be Short and Concise. Any complaints without details will not be answered.
What is the parent's accountability for injuries?
Parent Accountability: I understand that NASL (Alliance) does not provide any medical assistance during practice times and/or during game days. Any injury suffered by a player or spectator need to be assessed by the parent/guardian of that individual. Any decision to seek medical attention is the sole responsibility of the parent/guardian.
Do players get trophies or medals?
End Of The Season Trophies and Medals
U6 & U8 divisions Only
Every player in these age divisions will receive a medal at the end of the season. U8 teams that win their division's championship in the playoffs will not receive medals. They will receive trophies in this circumstance.
U10, U12 & U14 divisions
Teams/Coaches in these divisions will be provided with 3 individual player trophies for their team. Each Coach will then decide who will receive a trophy based on the following individual achievements.
- Best Sportsmanship
- Most Improved Player
- Most Valuable Player (MVP)
The coach will give a trophy to 3 different players based on who, they feel, best fits the achievement category. These are intended to be awarded to the 3 players at the end of the season. These divisions will not receive participation medals. Only the 3 players on the team will get awards at the end of the season.
Does Alliance have playoffs?
The top 4 teams in each age division, in each region will qualify for the regional quarter-final playoffs. Henderson regional teams that win their quarter-final games will then travel to the Southwest region to play their semi-final games. All semi-final and championship games will be played at Desert Breeze in our Southwest Region (see below for directions). The Southwest semi-final winners will then play against the Henderson semi-final winners in the championship game the same day. Please see the schedule for exact game times.
If your team does not qualify, you will still continue playing your regularly scheduled games through the end of the season. Due to the adjustments, all game times, field numbers, and opponents will change for every team. Please check the schedule each week before your game.
Coaches and Team Managers
Are Alliance coaches paid?
No. Alliance is a non-profit youth organization that relies heavily on the support of volunteer coaches. We encourage parents and other community members to get involved as much as possible. As always, children of parent coaches receive free registration.
Can coaches charge for training and/or custom uniforms?
NO!! Coaches are not allowed to charge players/parents for any amount outside the registration fees the league collects. Coaches are not allowed to charge for custom jerseys or any uniform additions, such as team name/team logo, unless there is a unanimous vote from the team. Coaches are not allowed to charge any money for coaching or training services. Coaches position with Alliance are strictly volunteer. If the league is contacted because a coach is charging for anything, his or her coaching status with Alliance will be in jeopardy. That coach and their player may be removed from the team and the league.

It's easy, just visit the
registration page, or click on "COACHES" tab at the top menu and complete the application. From there, an Alliance representative will contact you shortly after. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Is there anything I need to start coaching?
Time, a commitment to the kids, and of course a clean background check. All coaches are subject to a mandatory background check before the start of the season. Coaches will be asked to conduct 1-2 practices and coach 1 game a week. The league will provide you the team or players to fill your team. The league will provide players. Although, player recruitment is encouraged! Contact us for more details.
Can we bring our uniforms?
Yes. However, we discourage it. The league will have uniform sponsors from time to time. These sponsorships are based on the number of teams wearing the league supplied jersey with the sponsors logo. If you want to bring your own uniforms, you MUST get league approval at least 8 weeks prior to the first game of the season. They can NOT have a sponsor logo on the front different from the league's. It is not guaranteed that the league will allow you to bring your own uniforms even if all requirements are met.

Do we need to reserve field space for practices?
No. Practice space is not reserved and is on a first come first serve basis. We ask that all teams make room for each other and respect each others space.
Can we add players to our team after registration has closed?
All players need to be registered for your team prior to registration closes.

We will allow this for up to 1 week after the first scheduled games. If you are a coach, not affiliated with an organized team, please get in touch with the league about adding a player.
