This program is for our entry level players in the 3-5 Year age range, who will then progress into our AYSO Core program. Our AYSO Core program is designed around fun and learning and ran by a tremendous volunteer base who allow our players to play in a lowpressure environment. (Find your local program) The next step in our Pathway is Extra which is a tryout-based program designed for players looking for a more challenging learning and playing environment. In this program the players will play at a higher level in a developmentally appropriate AYSO playing circuit, coached by the top AYSO Coaches with a focus on technical and tactical development. The final phase in the youth system is the AYSO United (Club) program. In United, our top players are exposed to the challenges and competition of club soccer. In this environment the players work with high level coaches and play in USYS (US Club) leagues and compete against other youth club organizations. The United program builds on the foundations of all our AYSO Programs ensuring that the players selected are in the appropriate environment to enhance their skill level and competence in the game of soccer.
