Hi everyone:

I hope that your fall AYSO soccer season brought you many exciting moments that you and your child will share for a life time. As our fall season concludes, I wanted to that you for allowing your child or children to play in the AYSO Soccer League. As many of you have learn, soccer is an active sport which allows all players to participate in a fun, fair and safe environment.

I also wanted to thank the many Coaches, Referees, and volunteers for helping set up our fields every Saturday to ensure that we are able to present a world class youth soccer setting. As we get ready for the holidays, please say a prayer for the many Americans that are off in another country defending our freedoms we enjoy today.

We still have several teams from AYSO Santa Ana who are in competing against other regions for numerous AYSO Championship titles. This year’s playoffs will again be hosted by our region at Centinnel Park located at Edinger Ave and Fairview St. We will need help to make this event a success, please let us know if you can help out for a couple of hours on December 6th or 7th 2014.
