Get to Know AYSO
The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is the oldest national youth soccer program in the United States and a proud nonprofit organization. Since 1964, our mission has been to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs that promote a fun, family-friendly environment—guided by our core philosophies.

What began in a garage in Torrance, California, with just nine teams and a handful of soccer enthusiasts, has grown into a nationwide movement and recognized as a cornerstone to soccer in the USA.

More than 60 years later, AYSO serves nearly 500 communities across the country, offering inclusive programs for both kids and adults.

With millions of alumni, AYSO is a name synonymous with excellence, integrity, and community. We remain committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the joy of soccer in a positive and supportive environment.

Happy 250th, America! ?? Our very own AYSO U16 player, Andrea R., performed the National Anthem to a stadium filled with AYSO players, families, and volunteers from across the country at the 2025 National Games, and it still gives us chills.

Soccer Starts Here... and can take you anywhere. Haji and Cristian prove something every AYSO alum already knows: the game doesn’t care where you start. A local field, a volunteer coach, and a love for soccer can take a kid anywhere, even to the World Cup. Here’s to the players on the roster, to a team making history, and to every kid lacing up right now, dreaming about what comes next.   It starts with you. It starts at AYSO.   Let’s goooooooooaaallll!! ??⚽️

Did you know Pelé was an Honorary Member of AYSO? ?? As Brazil advances to the Round of 16, we’re looking back at the day a legend spent time with us. In 1982, Pelé visited the AYSO National Office to meet our volunteers and young players, and we are proud that he called himself an AYSO supporter. Pelé was an admirer of American grassroots youth soccer, where so many kids get to play. Making sure everyone has that opportunity is what we mean by “Everyone Plays.”

Becky G loves the beautiful game, y sus raíces corren profundo! Shout out to @iambeckyg : AYSO alum, six-time Latin GRAMMY nominee, and part-owner of @weareangelcity ! Recently, Paula Mejia wrote in @players magazine about a former AYSO player named Rebbeca who has fond memories of growing up in a place where family and soccer were woven together. She didn’t dream of going pro. For her, the game was about community: World Cup watch parties with the family, abuelos cheering on El Tri, primos crowded around the TV for what she calls a united experience. AYSO was part of that fabric. Rebbeca laced up with @ayso_region21_hawthorne and @ayso187mv for five years. Years later, music brought her back to the game she loved as a kid. That AYSO alum is Rebbeca Gomez, the artist you know as Becky G. Everyone Plays. Y a veces, ahí es exactamente donde empieza la historia.

To every kid playing grassroots soccer at AYSO: look up Cristian Roldan on the USMNT’s 26-player World Cup 2026 squad. ⚽️ Cristian was like you once: he was a kid playing soccer in his local AYSO Region @aysoregion603 and falling in love with the game. Now, he captains the Seattle Sounders FC and has earned his place on the @usmnt World Cup roster for the second time. Good luck, Cristian! You’re inspiring the next generation. ??

The AYSO United 2008 Girls team from the South Bay hub was hard at work reviewing game footage as they prepare for next week’s DPL National Championships in Virginia Beach.

Good luck to the girls and to all the United teams closing out their seasons. The entire AYSO family is cheering you on!

Over the weekend, Cobi Jones was honored by the LA Galaxy at a statue unveiling ceremony at Legends Plaza. It was a wonderful tribute to a true legend of U.S. Soccer and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors. Before the World Cups, before the USMNT caps record, and before becoming an MLS icon, Cobi was an AYSO player in Westlake Village, CA. His journey is a reminder of what can grow from a love of the game, a supportive community, and the chance for every player to step on the field and play. #aysoalum

When Verónica Pérez started playing at AYSO, she began a journey that would eventually take her to the world stage. “AYSO is where I first started playing soccer. I just fell in love with the game. My mom still reminds me to this day that she would get the biggest smile seeing me out there playing because I looked so free and happy,” said Pérez. “I didn’t know then that soccer would take me around the world or lead me to play in two World Cups, but AYSO gave me that first spark. I was a very shy and quiet kid, but on the soccer field my personality could shine. The game was fun, it was my safe space, and I belonged there. To all the young soccer players: dream big and believe in yourself, even if you’re quiet or unsure sometimes. I was a really shy kid growing up, but soccer gave me confidence and a place to express myself. Work hard, enjoy the game, and don’t be afraid to chase big goals, even when things get hard or the odds are against you. Step into your power because you never know where the game can take you.”

Over the weekend, AYSO Sections 1, 10, and 11 hosted the annual Ken Aston Referee Camp at Chapman University with sponsor @scoresports. More than 130 dedicated volunteers participated in a weekend filled with advanced soccer education and meaningful networking with fellow referees and administrators. They had the opportunity to build lasting friendships within the AYSO referee community. The camp offers seven specialized referee courses, including Intermediate, Advanced, and National Referee certifications, as well as Assessor, National Assessor Instructor, and Advanced Instructor courses. Each class is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of the AYSO Program, ensuring participants return to the field equipped with the knowledge and confidence to lead and officiate effectively. #aysoreferees #aysovolunteers

On March 17, South Los Angeles Region 1031 hosted an AYSO PLAY! Community Clinic at Kenneth Hahn Soccer Fields. Despite rainy weather in the hours leading up to the evening event, 80 young players showed up ready to play, thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers and staff organizers. The Region is following up to connect with these new families about joining AYSO 1031. This is a wonderful example of how AYSO PLAY! can work hand-in-hand with Regions to drive community engagement.
