Announcement: Davis AYSO has been able to comply
with National AYSO guidelines in implementing games involving
fewer players on the field. We fully implement national
AYSO's recommended short-sided games for U6 (3v3), U10 (7v7),
and U12 (9v9). We play 7v7 in U8, and hope to reach the
recommended 5v5 in the future if we can solve the need for
adequate game fields and coaches for 77 teams rather than
the current 60 teams. See: Short-sided
games are here!! (pdf) |

NOTE
to viewers about our AYSO Email Addresses
on this site!
As you
browse through this website, you may notice how the AYSO email addresses
are actually a rather
than an actual link. This is purposely done to help reduce the number
of spam-related emails that come in. We apologize if this process
seems inconvenient, however, we hope that this will reduce many
of the unrelated AYSO emails that come in, and help us to reply
to you more quickly.

AYSO
(American Youth Soccer Organization) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the positive development of youth through the teaching
and promotion of soccer. Founded in 1964 in Torrance California,
AYSO operates soccer programs where young people can learn to develop
a positive self-image, self-confidence and other positive character
traits through their interest and participation in soccer. In 1964,
AYSO started with about 125 players. Today that number has grown
to nearly 600,000 players nationwide. Our phenomenal growth underscores
AYSO's commitment to a healthy competitive atmosphere for young
players and concern for the development of responsible individuals.
The
five guiding principles of AYSO are:
- Everyone
Plays
- Balanced
Teams
- Open
Registration
- Positive
Coaching
- Good
Sportsmanship
Although
AYSO is committed to competitive soccer, we are also concerned that
the competition be healthy and positive. Most importantly, AYSO
believes that soccer should be fun for everyone involved (including
players, coaches, referees, and parents). After all, AYSO is a volunteer
organization. We should all be having fun and enjoying ourselves!
Parents,
check out the AYSO
Parents Code for what we expect from you!
Note
that we have a special program for kids with physical or mental
challenges, called the VIP program. For more information on the
rewarding program, see the AYSO
VIP page.
