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 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.

We have closed registration for the Fall 2008 season!! There are spots available to fill subs for a few teams. We are also looking for a u8 and a u12 coach. We have parents willing but with little experience and would love to assist, rather than "run the show."

We still have fundraiser candy available there for players who registered online at eayso.org and those who already sold a box.
