Spring Update! This time of year, the #1 question we get from parents is about spring soccer. We have two options this spring:


1) AYSO Spring Academy. A
 six-week program at Westwood Park run by the professional coaches from PSA who have been assisting our teams all year and at our camps. This will be a great opportunity for players to improve their soccer skills while having fun with friends.
 
For children in U7-U10 (birthdays 2013-2016), players will participate twice weekly, with Wednesday practice sessions focusing on skills and small-sided games during a Saturday session, all run by professional coaches.
 
For our youngest players in U5 & U6 (birthdays 2017-2018), we will run "Little Kickers", a simpler version of the Spring Academy, with players meeting once per week with the coaches from Pacific Soccer Academy in groups with much lower player:coach ratios appropriate to this age group. Players will meet once a week on Wednesdays at 4pm, but we are open to expanding to other days if there is demand.
 
DETAILS

2) Spring League. For older players in U10-U14, (born 2009-2014), Region 70 enters teams in a spring league run by the South L.A. AYSO Region 1031 (a.k.a., the Kenneth Hahn league.) In this league, your child will be on a team with West L.A. players and West L.A. coaches, competing against teams from other neighboring regions like Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Culver City. Practices are here in West L.A., with games at various nearby locations. The season begins in early March and usually ends late May.

Priority for volunteers. The spring league requires coaching and refereeing volunteers, and so the number of available spots for Spring League teams may be limited. Your ability to help out in one of those positions, particularly as a referee, will help your child gain a spot on one of the rosters. Spring is actually an easier time to start refereeing, and there will be classes available for parents or other family members who are new to refereeing but are willing to help out.

To let us know you’re interested, please send an email right away to your child’s division directors listed here along with (1) your child’s name and (2) indicating whether or not you will be able to help as a referee or coach.
