Almaden Valley Youth Soccer League (AVYSL)

AVYSL was founded in 1967. Over the years, enrollment has grown to the point that in 2011 there are 2,100 players distributed between Recreational (1,600) and Competitive (500) teams. Playing membership is open to any child between the ages of 4 and 19 residing within the AVYSL territory, although most players are residents of the Almaden Valley. AVYSL is affiliated with the California Youth Soccer Association (CYSA) North, which is a member of the United States Youth Soccer Association. This ensures that there are numerous resources and support for our programs. Together, AVYSL and CYSA offer: Clinics for coaches and referees District and State wide player and team registration Medical insurance for players while participating in matches or practices Training resources such as books, video tapes, and conferences The CYSA newsletter, Soccer California, with helpful articles for coaches, parents and players Sanctioned tournaments for Comp and Select playing levels A mentor program for recreational teams and their coaches
