Fall Core Program - 2024
Welcome to the Fall Core Program with Redwood City AYSO! This program serves players ages 3 to 18. Our league is typically comprised of over1400 players, with 100 teams across all age groups.
Redwood City AYSO is an all-volunteer-run program that brings together families and community members to coach, referee, and more, in order to create a fun, family-friendly environment.

Any More Questions?
Q) Volunteer you say?
A) YES! Please! We are a 100% volunteer organization and ALWAYS need more people. Whether it’s coaching, assisting, refereeing, team parent, or helping with field setup and tear down – we need you. As a parent of two eye-rolling teenagers, I can tell you that the times we spent on the field playing together and having fun (I mean coaching) are some of my favorites. We offer training, resources, and support – raise your hand and help make this all happen! Click here to add your name to our volunteer list – no obligation – just saying you’re interested.

Kids Zone
In AYSO, we want all players, coaches, families and volunteers to have fun. That’s where Kids Zone comes in. Kids Zone is a program that encourages fans on the sidelines, and anyone else near the play, to use positive language, show sportsmanship in their attitude and behavior, and create a great experience for every player. It’s a reminder that the soccer fields are a kid’s zone – a friendly, happy, wholesome place for children to play.
Kids Zone Guidelines are:
- Kids are No. 1.
- Fun, not winning is everything.
- Fans only cheer, and only coaches coach.
- No yelling in anger.
- Respect the volunteer referees.
- No swearing or abusive behavior.
- No alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
- No weapons.
- No pets at AYSO events.
- Leave no trash behind.
- Set a proper example of sportsmanship.
When it comes down to it, Kids Zone is about supporting every child on the field - even those on the opposing team. It means supporting the players whether they win or lose. It means honoring the game – not the outcome of the game. Remember, respect starts with you!
