At AYSO Menlo Park - Atherton, we create a positive, fun, and inclusive soccer experience for kids ages 6-14. With our "Everyone Plays" philosophy, great coaching, and a supportive team environment—no tryouts, no pressure, just pure soccer joy!
Run by dedicated volunteers, we focus on building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love for the game in a welcoming, encouraging atmosphere.
AYSO’s Six Philosophies are principles that separate AYSO from other sports organizations. These tenets were created to provide a positive, fair and fun soccer experience for all our players.
Everyone Plays®
AYSO’s goal is for kids and adults to play soccer, so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50 percent of every game.
Positive Coaching
A coach can be one of the most influential people in a player’s life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience for every player in AYSO. Additionally, encouraging player’s effort leads to greater enjoyment, improved skills and stronger motivation in players.
Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible, providing a stronger learning experience for teams as they play teams comprised of similar ability. It also allows for each player to experience playing with a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
Good Sportsmanship
We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our programs are designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
Open Registration
If you want to play soccer, AYSO welcomes you and gives all youth and adults the opportunity to register and play.
Player Development
All players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
