About Us

American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is a nationwide, non-profit all-volunteer organization that develops and delivers quality youth soccer programs in a character building environment based on Five Six Tenets:

  • Player Development - of soccer and life skills; individually and as a team
  • Everyone Plays - 3/4 of every game; no benchwarmers
  • Open Registration - All K-12 youth welcome; no exclusions
  • Balanced Teams - city-wide private draft; split age/gender divisions w/ all skill levels mixed
  • Positive Coaching - occasional, instructional and encouraging
  • Good Sportsmanship - by everyone at all times

Where kids get to have fun in a safe and fair environment while making new friends as teams are reformed and rebalanced every year.

AYSO Area 2A serves the youth soccer players of Silicon Valley, California for the last 40+ years. Find the region closest to you for further information and to register.

If you feel your child cannot participate with kids their age due to physical or mental differences, check out VIP programs in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino.

For west of 280 (Cupertino, West San Jose, Saratoga, Campbell, etc) and southern Santa Clara County, see Area 2J and its regions 35, 64 and 27 and others.

For rest of San Mateo County (Redwood City, San Mateo, Belmont, etc) see Area 2N and Area 2B.

For Santa Clara, North San Jose, Milpitas, East Bay and other cities not served by AYSO at this time, contact us to start a region. It's easy and we will mentor you.

Regions are roughly defined by the fields they use -- usually either schools and/or cities. To play and practice on local fields, choose the region using your local field. There are no boundaries and you are welcome to register anywhere.

The area staff provides (1) clinics for intermediate and advanced coaches and referees and (2) coordinates interlock play between regions; especially for our under-16 and under-19 divisions that include Area 2J as well.
