Soccer Programs for Every Season


Click a Program Name below for more details. 




The Fall Program is an instructional and fun program.  It is our largest, with about 2000 players.  This program is for 18 months to 18 year olds, and runs during March through Memorial Day in the spring, and from mid-August to Thanksgiving in the fall.  In this program all kids are accepted, formed into balanced teams, and will play at least 75% of every game.  All training sessions are on Palo Alto fields, twice a week (except u3-u6). U2-U14 games are on Saturdays, and are played in Palo Alto. U16 and U19 games are in Palo Alto and adjacent cities, and are played on Sundays.  

Fall registration opens in April.  Early registration closes in mid-June.  Spring registration opens in November and early registration ends at the end of January.  Early registrants enjoy a lower fee and have priority to be placed on a team.  Registering afterward is a higher fee, and registrants are placed on a wait-list.  We do our best to accommodate all wait-listed players.

A quality soccer experience for children and adults whose disabilities make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream teams.  This Program runs during the fall.



Soccerfest is great fun, a program of semi-organized pick-up games.  Kids registered in the AYSO Programs, U8 to U19 divisions, from the previous year, or for this year, can just show up and play.

The games are organized on Saturdays during the summer.  The fields are managed and safe in accordance with AYSO programs.  The on-site AYSO volunteers help to get the teams organized and provide oversight.  There is no formal coaching nor officiating at Soccerfest.
