AYSO Alliance is a PROGRESSIVE PLAYER PROGRAM designed to provide a more challenging level of soccer for AYSO players who have the interest, skills and abilities. It enhances that player's experience and individual growth through soccer while retaining the spirit of and organization membership in AYSO. Alliance is not designed to overshadow or harm the standard primary program - rather the goal is to strengthen AYSO by recruiting and retaining players and volunteers through providing more competitive play the AYSO way - all Alliance programs embrace the Six Philosophies of AYSO.
AYSO Alliance is club soccer - a competitive soccer program designed to provide a more challenging level of play for those players who possess the appropriate interest, skills and abilities and to enhance each player's experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit and organization of AYSO. Teams in the Alliance program compete in club leagues in Southern California and both AYSO and open club tournaments.
The tryout dates and times for Alliance can be found on our Alliance Tryout Page. Teams are formed just a few weeks after tryouts.
All Alliance coaches possess both AYSO and USSF certifications as a requirement for selection. All of our coaches go through additional training and education to keep their skills and knowledge of the game up to date. As well, professional trainers can also be used to work with the teams/players to further develop and enhance their skills. These sessions focus on technical and tactical development of all players, as well as keeper training for those players who play that position.
The cost of the program will be roughly 1/3 the cost of a for-profit club soccer program. It consists of:
The only fee not included is tournament fees, which will vary depending on the number of tournaments your team coach and team parents decide to participate in.
AYSO Alliance leverages highly qualified volunteer coaches and harnessing the power of the largest soccer network in the nation to keep costs low so more families can play soccer. Additionally, financial aid is available upon application through the region. Alliance families are expected to volunteer for the region - supporting Core, Kick It!, Sportsmanship Cup as well as other Region 76 programs.
There is no limit but most teams play between 4-6 tournaments in Spring and 1-3 tournaments in Fall.
Alliance teams will participate in a Southern California club league - fall and spring seasons, approximately 15 games in fall and 10 games in spring, as well as State Cup.
No. Alliance teams are formed after the Spring season is over and before the Fall season begins.. Players will never have to choose between the two.
Under certain circumstances Alliance players can participate in Core, however all players must be divided evenly among Core teams.
