Welcome to the official web page for Region 746 of the American Youth Soccer Organization. Region 746 consists of the Lowell, Saranac, Ionia and surrounding areas in Michigan. We are affiliated with the American Youth Soccer Organization and follow the mission and philosophies of the national organization.
Pre-registration for any season is available online at eayso.org. Simply sign on for a user name and password and follow the instructions for registering a player. Each family is also to fill out a volunteer form for at least one adult. Two (2) copies of each form (player and volunteer) should be brought to downtown Saranac's Scrapbook Garden along with payment for registration.
In-person registration for Fall is always the Monday and Thursday of the second FULL week of July. Spring is the last FULL week of February. Both registrations are held at Scrapbook Garden in Saranac from 6-8 pm.

Our region is currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:
Equipment Manager - Assess needs of referee and coach game bags and game boxes during the season and replace items as needed. Evaluate and upgrade other game equipment such as balls, nets and flags.
Beneficial qualities of Equipment Manager - ORGANIZED, no knowledge of soccer necessary.
Time commitment - quite a bit to organize just once and then check bags at end of each season, restock and answer coach equipment questions during the playing season.
Asst. Treasurer - Help our treasurer with some small tasks and train to take a turn at Treasurer in the future.
Beneficial qualities of Asst. Treasurer - good with finances, organized. We have a great treasurer currently and only need someone to learn the ropes as a back-up.
Time commitment - minimal year round. Busier during and right after registration.
