Fall Core Program - 2025

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.

Players who are registered in our Fall Core Program are provided with uniform, player and team photo, and participation award. Players should provide their own shin guards (required) and soccer ball. Overview fall schedule:

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! Send an email to express interest – no obligation – just saying you’re interested - [email protected]

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:

1. Kids are No. 1. 
2. Fun, not winning is everything. 
3. Fans only cheer, and only coaches coach. 
4. No yelling in anger. 
5. Respect the volunteer referees. 
6. No swearing or abusive behavior. 
7. No alcohol, tobacco or drugs. 
8. No weapons.
9. No pets at AYSO events.
10. Leave no trash behind. 
11. Set a proper example of sportsmanship.
