- AYSO SchoolYard (4-year-olds): This developmentally appropriate program introduces soccer skills like kicking, dribbling, and throw-ins in a fun, low-pressure setting while still perfecting fundamental motor skills. It transitions into 3v3 gameplay to ease children into the game without a focus on winning. No teams are formed.
- AYSO Playground (3-year-olds): Designed to allow kids to develop fundamental motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and social interaction in a fun and safe AYSO environment. Children get to gradually discover the game for themselves while bonding with parents or guardians. No teams are formed.
- Practices: This program is led by trained coaches who work with volunteer assistant coaches. Eight weekly weekend sessions begin in early September, with the field location finalized in mid-August. Your child will be provided a t-shirt at their first scheduled training session.
