AYSO National Games

AYSO National Games are held every two years with teams selected through a lottery. The National Games are an opportunity to bring together different AYSO Regions and Sections to share in the diverse soccer culture of the AYSO family. This occasion focuses on sportsmanship, team spirit and making new friends through the activities and events that are offered during this weeklong event. The next National Games will be held July 4-11, 2010 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Palo Alto has been invited to send a team in the U19 Boys division and the U16 Girls division.

Please contact Coach Dejan Milojicic for information about the B19 team and for information on the G16 team.

Palo Alto AYSO 2009 Summer Soccerfest

Palo Alto AYSO will again be providing an opportunity for kids to play soccer this summer on Saturday mornings from 10-12am. Soccerfest is intended to provide a safe environment for kids to come together and play soccer, with no coaching, refereeing or spectators shouting from the sidelines. AYSO provides the fields, pinnies, cones, balls and Safe Haven-certified monitors. The kids choose up teams for pick-up games and provide the fun. There will be two games: one for U12 players and one for U14 and older. In addition, if there are an equal number of boys and girls at the younger age then we will have a boys-only game and and a girls-only game.
