What is AYSO Alliance? |
|||
</div> |
|||
</div> |
|||
AYSO Alliance is an AYSO competitive program that allows teams to participate in external playing circuits while remaining fully connected to AYSO. |
|||
It is the highest level of competitive play offered within AYSO. |
|||
Teams are formed through open tryouts and selected players may compete in leagues such as US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer, and other approved State Association gaming circuits. |
|||
'''EXTRA should be used first where an EXTRA program is available and viable.''' |
|||
Alliance teams remain AYSO teams and continue to follow AYSO’s Vision, Mission, Six Philosophies, and player safety standards. |
