General Information
Baseline Assessment
The Baseline Assessment is the initial entry requirement to Avila Soccer. It is mandatory for all new players, and for players who have skipped a semester. The cost is $10 and is billed separately from any package that may be purchased. The assessment can be added on to any package at the time of purchase, but it must be scheduled and purchased before beginning any training package. The purpose of the Baseline Assessment is to assign an armband to the player.
Color-coded armbands at Avila are used to:
- recognize or reward achievement
- help the trainers instantly group players with similarly experienced players
- inspire players to improve through a pathway
- create scrimmage groups based on level
- recruit for scrimmages when scrimmage players indicate they will be absent

Mandatory Dress Code
- Players must wear an Avila Classic Shirt at all times. Limited edition Avila shirts are also acceptable to wear.
- Players are expected to have their own Avila Classic Shirt within 10 days of start of training.
- Players who show up without an Avila shirt will be asked to wear a pinnie, which will be returned at the end of the session.
- Players must wear an Avila wristband designating their level. Players will be assigned a wristband on the player's first day based on their existing level or result of the Baseline Assessment. If players forget their wristbands, a new one will be assigned at the cost of $2 (a text confirmation will be sent).
- Goalies are excluded from this dress code but must wear the Avila wristband that corresponds with their level.
- Use soccer shorts or athletic shorts, any color is fine.
- Shin guards are required during scrimmage classes but may be removed during skills sessions.
- Turf shoes are preferred. Cleats and tennis shoes are acceptable. Shooting Mechanics class is done barefoot, cleats should be removed before class.
Scrimmage Classes Information
Scrimmaging requires a predictable number of players to show up to each session; and as circumstances arise, you may forget to inform us of your absence. As a result, we sometimes don’t have a properly balanced scrimmage to render.
To ensure that Avila trainers are properly prepared for optimal parameters of scrimmage training, we ask that you please let us know if you will be missing a session using the Report a Cancellation Form. Please note using the links below is the only valid method of canceling your classes. Texts and phone calls are not helpful. Same day notifications will be accepted, but only up to 1 hour prior to session. There will be a $25 fine for not informing Avila staff of absences.
Scrimmage Cancellations
If you are unable to make a scrimmage session, please fill out the form through the link below. Please note, scrimmages have a “use it or lose it policy.” (Single-day Cancellation: use if cancelling a single scrimmage session; Long-term Cancellation:use if cancellation is long-term/indefinite due to injury, conflict etc.)
Scrimmage Make-ups
While we don’t guarantee any make-ups, if you’re interested in getting one, follow the instructions through the link below

Private Lesson Make-up Policy
If Private Lessons are missed, they can be made up in the form of scrimmaging. It is possible to ask for a make-up IF 1) player filled out the appropriate cancellation form and 2) there are available scrimmaging spots. Make-ups will not be guaranteed.
As noted above with our “use it or lose it policy,” we do not guarantee make-ups. That said, we will try to accommodate you if we become aware of suitable availability and only within a 10-day period of the missed class. However, Private Lesson make-ups will be in the form of scrimmaging only, if available.
There is only one valid way to request the possibility of a make-up which is to fill out the following Make-up form below.
