Downtown San Jose AYSO Region 1631

Downtown San Jose AYSO Volunteer-Run Youth Soccer

AYSO Region 1631 covers Downtown San Jose with seasonal AYSO youth soccer plus an EPIC adaptive program and adult co-ed leagues, primarily playing at Backesto Park and other Downtown-area parks.

Programs for Kids

Programming covers standard AYSO youth divisions plus an inclusive option. Programs include:
- Youth Soccer (8U-14U) Spring and Fall seasons
- EPIC Soccer (Athletes With Disabilities)
- Adult Co-ed Soccer
- Quakes Summer Camp
- Tournaments

What's Included

• Field play at Backesto Park, Del Monte Park, Watson Park (grass and synthetic)
• Volunteer-driven AYSO model (parents help with coaching/refereeing)
• Coach guidance documents (player rating scales, "preventing blowouts")
• Referee training across multiple divisions

Experience

The Downtown AYSO model relies heavily on volunteer parents, which keeps registration fees lower than competitive club soccer. The EPIC adaptive program gives families with kids who have disabilities a structured local option alongside standard AYSO play.
