Dear Parents and Volunteers,

We hope you and your families are doing well.

With a sad and disappointed heart, we have to inform you that the upcoming 2020 AYSO Fall Soccer Season has been cancelled.  This decision was not made easily, but all Regions and Areas in Section 10 have made the same decision. Everyone was hoping and looking forward to getting the Fall Season going, but the changes in the Covid-19 Emergency in L.A. County and the state as a whole have changed that outlook. The rise in Covid-19 cases statewide, the state toggling back opening different sectors, CIF moving all high school sports to next year and schools unable to open for in-person learning have made having a Fall Soccer Season impossible as of today.

Although we will not be able to have a traditional formal fall season, your Section 10, Area 10V and Region 795 board members have all expressed their dedication to try and get any sort of activity/events in place for our soccer players once state and local leaders allow. These possible activities or events could be skills training clinics, jamboree style pickup games or even the possibility of a more formal spring season. As of now, all options are available, but decisions will not be able to be made until the situation in the state, county and city change. Once we have more information and are able to have events, we will inform you immediately.

Once we are able to resume play in any form, we will need to abide by the guidelines set by the state and county health departments.  AYSO has put together a microsite that has a lot of information for our parents and volunteers, including the Return to Play Guidelines. The website is a live document, meaning changes will be made as the situation continues to evolve. Local county and city laws and/or guidelines will be monitored by your Section, Area and Region, and we will keep all of our AYSO families informed. You may access the AYSO microsite here at https://www.aysovolunteers.org/returning-to-play/

With regard to 2020 Fall Season registration fees paid, we will be issuing refunds for the full amount of fees paid. You do not need to send any emails or refund request forms as we will process refunds for all paid Fall 2020 Registrations automatically. Please allow us 3-4 weeks to get all of the refunds processed and sent out.

Please keep yourself and your families safe and healthy. We miss our AYSO families and players terribly, but look forward to seeing you in the near future when we are able to get back on the field.

Thank you and take care.

Sincerely,

Frank Gallucci
Region 795 RC
