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.
