The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is the oldest national youth soccer program in the United States. AYSO was established in 1964 with only nine teams by a handful of soccer enthusiasts out of a garage in Torrance, California. They wanted to make sure American kids were introduced to the beautiful game. Five decades later, AYSO has thriving programs in nearly 900 communities all over the country. Today, AYSO is a National Association of the United States Soccer Federation, and is the largest soccer club in the world with more than 50,000 teams and 500,000 players, and more than 6 million alumni!
