We’re excited to introduce AYSO ALLIANCE — a new program for Pacifica players seeking a more competitive level of play while still enjoying everything that makes AYSO unique.
What is AYSO ALLIANCE?
AYSO ALLIANCE is a tryout-based, competitive program offered in addition to our regular Fall Core program, not a replacement. It’s designed for players ready to push themselves further while staying rooted in AYSO’s core values. Players need to be 9 by the end of 2025 to qualify.
ALLIANCE teams will:
• Compete in external leagues and tournaments
• Require some travel (typically within an hour of Pacifica)
• Guarantee playing time, even at the competitive level
• Be led by certified, positive coaches
• Emphasize good sportsmanship, teamwork, and development
Year-Round Commitment
Our goal is for ALLIANCE teams to stick together year-round, continuing to train and compete as a team while also allowing player to participate in our Fall Core, to stay connected to the broader AYSO community.
Cost & Commitment
While there will be additional fees for tournament play and travel, we are committed to keeping the program affordable compared to traditional club soccer. We are still working out the cost and will have that available this month.
Parent Involvement is Key
To make this program successful and cost-effective, parent participation is required in one or more of the following areas:
• Team Manager
• Referee or Assistant Referee
• Fundraising
• Game Day Setup / Logistics
• General Volunteer Support
