2023 FALL Registration

2023 FALL REGISTRATION

Welcome to South Torrance (Region 12) of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). We provide year-round recreational and competitive youth soccer programs that are enjoyed by 3-year-olds (playground) all the way up to 19-year-olds (19U).

Information for the 2023 Fall Season follows:

The 2023 Fall Soccer Season registration will open in April. Teams will be formed in August with most practices beginning early September. Practice times and days are determined by the player's coach. Games typically begin in early September. Games are usually played on Saturday but there could be some games on Sunday. The schedule could possibly be posted a week before games begin.

Locations we have used in the past are Riviera, Seaside, Arnold, Richardson, and Walteria Elementary Schools. We have also used Columbia Park, Toyota Fields, and the baseball fields at Riviera Little League.

What is AYSO Core?

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.
