AYSO Region 33

​​AYSO is a nation wide organization that is divided into 15 very large sections. Each section is divided into several area and each area is divided into local regions. Region 33 is the Encino, California region with our home fields located at  Balboa Park. This has been our home for decades and has been integral to the development and maturation of generations of San Fernando Valley athletes. 

Over the years the park has also been home to multiple different leagues; not just AYSO and not just soccer.  From 2012-2013 the soccer fields of Balboa Park under went a face lift and were covered with "the most perfect soccer grass in southern California." Region 33 was  influential in the renovation of Balboa Park and getting the new grass fields installed. Unfortunately, the constant field use has made this ideal grass recede slightly during the summer months, only to return during the rainy months of winter.

​​​In AYSO, fans are asked to be cheerleaders, not critics. Kids Zone is a unique program that includes a parent pledge that moms and dads sign to commit to positive, encouraging behavior when they're watching the games. It also includes signs, buttons and other game-day reminders.

Soccer is a player's game. Players learn the game by trying new things, making mistakes and trying again. Sideline critics who scream instructions at players or criticize referees or coaches just slow down the learning process and make it less fun for everyone.Negative, even violent, behavior of players, coaches and parents involved in youth sports has become almost epidemic in the U.S. Kids Zone® is a proactive effort to counteract this trend.
