AYSO Region 69 has been serving the communities of Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and adjoining neighborhoods since 1975,  and is celebrating its 50^th year.    We're not just about soccer; we're about building a warm, welcoming community where everyone feels at home.  We strive to ensure that everyone from our youngest U5 players to our competitive EXTRA teams excel on the field.

We do recognize that we will face challenges during the next few years, but are determined to provide a fun, family friendly soccer program based on the philosophies of Open Registration, Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, and Player Development. 

We’ll practice and play games at Revere Middle School, Kenter Canyon Elementary School, Brentwood Science Magnet, and possibly Barrington Park -east side.   Same as last year, our 5U and 6U Program will take place on Sunday mornings.  7U’s might also play on Sunday’s, depending on the number of overall sign-ups.  8U and older will play on Saturdays.  The Season starts late August with practice, and ends mid November, or early December, depending on the division.   Allstars and Tournament Play will follow, for those interested. 

AYSO is an all volunteer organization.  We need many volunteer coaches, referees, and BOARD MEMBERS,  and we will provide training, so don’t forget to sign up to volunteer when you register your children.  A Parent Volunteer means the world to their own children,  and it is a position parents will always cherish.  Ask our alums!

Debbie Held (45 year AYSO volunteer) has been nominated for the Executive Member position of Regional Commissioner, awaiting final approval by the NBOD at the end of April.    She cannot provide this program by herself, and is immediately looking to fill Board Positions.  Interested?  Contact [email protected].

REGION 69 AYSO SOCCER PROGRAMS:

We have developed our soccer programs to be age-appropriate and developmentally challenging based on our Six Philosophies, which are the essence of AYSO’s Mission and Vision and guide all that we do.

• Everyone Plays
• Balanced Teams
• Open Registration
• Positive Coaching
• Good Sportsmanship
• Player Development

FALL CORE PROGRAM (Ages 6-18)

Our core program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement and learning that happens on the fields in the FALL.  This is where the large majority of our players start and fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime.  The above mentioned 6 philosophies are the essence of our core program, and all of our other programs and it all starts with Everyone Plays. This means that no player spends their soccer experience sitting on the bench, they play at least 3 quarters of every game. Registration is opened to any player in the core program regardless of ability, as long as there is space.  Teams are put together by gender and age, see AGE DIVISIONS, and are balanced in a way that makes playing soccer about the experience, not wins or losses. It’s not about blowing out another team with an unbelievable score; it’s about sportsmanship and learning to be the best possible teammate and opponent. Developing players is what we’re about because soccer skills and life skills go hand in hand. We want to get players on the field, provide them with good positive coaches, and teach them to play soccer. 

5 & UNDER PROGRAM (Ages 3 turning 4 this calendar year) 

Our 5U division is about exposing children to soccer as a game, without the pressure to win. The children are introduced to soccer skills like kicking and dribbling in a fun and nurturing environment. Best of all, they find out that soccer is something they can do!

On Saturdays, there will be a one-hour time slot for practice and a game experience.  Our professional trainers work with the players for the first 30 minutes, then a 5-minute break, followed by a 20-minute game, with a 5-minute break at halftime.  Players are expected to arrive 5 minutes prior to the time assigned (no earlier) so they are ready when the trainers begin.

6 & UNDER PROGRAM (Ages 4 turning 5 this calendar year)

The 6U division is also all about exposing children to soccer as a game, without the pressure to win. The children are introduced to soccer skills like kicking and dribbling in a fun and nurturing environment. Best of all, they find out that soccer is something they can do!

Players will be assigned a team and volunteer parent coach for Saturday games.  During the week players can sign up for our optional 45-minute practice clinics.  Simply select the day of the week and location that works best for your family.  Then on Saturdays, join your teammates during your specified one-hour time slot for practice and a game experience.  Our professional trainers work with the players for the first 25 minutes, then a 5-minute break, followed by a 25-minute game, with a 5-minute break at halftime.  Players are expected to arrive 5 minutes prior to the time assigned (no earlier) so they are ready when the trainers begin.

PDP - PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (Ages 6-14)

Due to our field space limitations this season, we will not know if we can offer the PDP program until August.  There is an additional charge.  This season, it might only take place on Sunday afternoons, with signups in September for Registered Players.

PDP is an optional, invitation-only program for those kids who show a keen interest and are passionate about playing soccer at a higher level.  PDP players will continue to play on their Core Fall Season Team with 1 practice per week and 1 game on Saturdays.  In addition, PDP players will also participate in 1 PDP practice per week with 3-4 mini-tournaments on Sundays throughout the Fall.  

This supplemental training program will be run by Corinne Briers and our wonderful staff of professional trainers.  

Our aim with PDP is to give the more interested, more competitive players, a chance to not only experience the awesomeness of AYSO and playing on a Core regular season team, but to also play with and against better players and get introduced early to foundational technical skills, tactical fundamentals, and game intelligence.  

AYSO All-Stars (Ages 8-14)

The All-Star Program provides an opportunity for skilled players to continue their AYSO soccer experience at an accelerated level by competing in tournaments against other All-Star teams from neighboring communities and states.  All CORE players who have played in 3/4 of their league games (no more than 2 absences for reasons other than injury, illness, or late assignment) are eligible to try out for THEIR division’s  EXTRA/All-Star/Tournament Teams.  Tryouts are held in November. The Tournament Season begins with practice in December and extends to June.

AYSO EXTRA PROGRAM (Ages 8-14)

The AYSO Extra program is a competitive soccer league, starting in the Fall, designed to provide a higher level of play for those players who possess the appropriate skills, abilities, and drive.  Games will be played with other regions from Area P as well as from Areas C, D and F.  (From Pasadena to Rolling Hills, and sometimes Riverside)  The Extra program is designed to enhance each player's experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit, organization and six philosophies of AYSO: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams (balanced through competitive bracketing), Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, and Player Development.
