I Am New to AYSO

Palo Alto AYSO is Region 26 of the national American Youth Soccer Organization.  The AYSO is the oldest, largest and most successful youth soccer organization, founded in 1964.  You can read about the AYSO on Wikipedia.  




Palo Alto AYSO is an all-volunteer, non-profit serving Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Stanford University and part of Los Altos Hills.  Palo Alto AYSO is open to all 4 to 18 year-old children.  Our 750 volunteers organize and deliver soccer to over 2000 players each year, and includes coaches, referees, and people responsible for fields, schedules, equipment, planning and everything else required for safe, instructional, fun soccer for kids.  And a special mention for our youth volunteers.

The AYSO has successfully delivered quality soccer instruction and enriching experiences to generations of youth, and Palo Alto AYSO is proud to be a part of that record.  We build players and community.  

Palo Alto AYSO runs different kinds of soccer programs at different times of the year.  The Programs are listed to the left in the colored boxes.  These programs provide age-appropriate and experience-appropriate levels of instruction, competition and play.

Volunteers make AYSO.  We can always use more help.  Whether you have a child actively in our programs or not, there are many ways to help.  And your help builds community for our children.

Mission & Vision:  Our vision is children's lives enriched through soccer, and our mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on the AYSO philosophies.

Six Philosophies are living tenets that separate AYSO from other sports organizations.  These tenets are Everyone Plays™, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.

Safe Haven™: Volunteers are the lifeblood of AYSO.  To ensure the safety of both children and volunteers, each volunteer is required to take a short in-person or online training session called Safe Haven™.

Kids Zone™:  In AYSO, fans are asked to be cheerleaders, not critics.  Kids Zone™ is a unique program that includes a parent commitment to positive, encouraging behavior when they’re watching the games. 



AYSO is child-first and child-focused.  We are a soccer organization with happy, healthy kids as our passion.  Every decision, every rule and every program has "what's good for kids" as its basis.  Every girl and boy stepping on a soccer field for the first time and every time, can have fun.  AYSO's child-first approach also makes it one of the finest player development programs.  Everybody likes to win, but developing successful players and character is what's fundamental in AYSO.
