What is AYSO Adult Soccer?

AYSO Adult Soccer provides opportunities for adults to continue playing the game in a safe, fun, and community-based environment.

AYSO Adult Soccer is a separate non-profit organization that encourages adults to get out, get fit, and enjoy soccer with their AYSO community.

The program is open to adults of all experience and skill levels.

Adult Soccer extends the AYSO experience beyond youth participation, allowing parents, volunteers, alumni, and community members to stay connected through soccer.
