Registration 22,000 Strong in South OC

Welcome to AYSO Soccer.  Laguna Niguel Region 41 is a member Region of the American Youth Soccer Organization since 1973 and has included such soccer greats as Julie Foudy.  We partner with nine (9) cities in the Saddleback Valley to form gaming circuits and host tournaments for some 22,000 AYSO players! 

Practices are generally held once or twice a week with games on the weekends.  Some exceptions are the U5 Jamboree and the U6 divisions, which practice and play during their game time on Saturdays.  Practices will begin in August and the games begin after Labor Day (early September).  Laguna Niguel has wonderful fields in the parks and at the schools.  Most of the divisions will get to test their mettle against the other Regions in the neighboring cities in Saddleback Valley as we have the luxury of having 10 cities to play against close to home.

Need Fall Registration information?  Fall registeration is held in the spring and early summer so that we have plenty of time to prepare the rosters and train the coaches and referees.  The fall regular season runs through November.
