AYSO Core Program

The AYSO Core Program is another name for AYSO’s Primary program, which is home to the majority of our players and spans from 6U – 19U divisions. With our Philosophies laced throughout, our Core Program is the nation’s leading grassroots soccer program.

Our Grassroots program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement, and learning that happens on the fields! We have developed our soccer program 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.

Divisions

Division are bases on the number of registered players. The more players we have, the more divisions we can offer. We are always trying to recruit more players to help balance out our divisions and our teams.

We try to offer the following divisions:

6U - age 4-5
8U - age 6-7
10U - age 8-9
12U - age 10-11
14U - age 12-13
19U - age 14-19

If younger players are combined with older players, the coaches will always adapt to the player's development level. We have new players every year, so we are always reviewing basic fundamentals.

The foundation of the core program focuses on player development of which psychosocial and physical needs come first. The AYSO core philosophies create a more enjoyable experience for players, because fun is prioritized over winning. We often find players returning to AYSO after playing in more competitive leagues, because of our positive, low stress environment.
