SAVE THE DATE 1/11 TO SAVE AYSO - MEETING POSTPONED
Hello Parents, volunteers and friends of youth soccer,
For 53 years, Portola Valley, Woodside, Ladera, La Honda parent volunteers have supported an independent AYSO region allowing our children to play value-based soccer with their neighborhood friends on our local fields. In 2016, AYSO Region 25 provided youth soccer programs for 275 players on 18 teams ranging from U6 to U14.
COVID, diminishing enrollment, and a lack of volunteer coaches and board members have put the future of Region 25 in jeopardy. This fall, only 96 children participated in the program playing on just 6 teams. Unless a new set of parents step in to lead the program, Region 25 will be merged into the Menlo Park Region next year. Indeed, that transition has already begun. This fall U10, U12 and U14 players were all assigned to Menlo Park teams. Dissolving Region 25 will mean more driving for games and practices in Menlo Park. Your kids won’t be on teams solely made up of their friends from the neighborhood. And an important part of our community for more than half a century will be lost.
Our current board and volunteers stand ready to help the transition to a new group of leaders and volunteers. But the decision as to whether to keep Region 25 alive is now up to the next generation of parents with current and potential AYSO soccer players.
We hope you’ll join us to discuss and make a decision about the future of Region 25 on Tuesday, January 11th at Alpine Hills Swim & Tennis Club’s Roadhouse from 6pm to 8pm. You can register for the free event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/save-ayso-for-the-next-generation-tickets-227365074057
All the Best,
Ian Reed
AYSO Region 25 Commissioner
