The Five Philosophies of AYSO
Everyone Plays
At least half of every game. In U6-U14, Redwood City goes further than the
national regulations by requiring that "no player will sit out 2 quarters until all
players have sat out 1 quarter."
Open Registration
AYSO has sign-ups, not try-outs. As long as there is space on a team, every child who
signs up will play.
Balanced Teams
Skilled/talented players are evenly distributed among all teams in a league to promote
balanced competition.
Positive Coaching
AYSO believes in building soccer skills and self-worth through encouragement and
teaching.
Good Sportsmanship
AYSO has active programs to promote positive behavior on the fields and on the
sidelines.
