Advanced players have the opportunity to progress to Regional and National squads that participate in major showcase tournaments
Continued dedication to following our AYSO Philosophies of Positive Coaching & Good Sportsmanship.
Providing a year-round competitive club soccer experience at a fraction of the cost of other clubs.

Is my child able to participate in other sports while playing AYSO United Rancho Conejo?
YES, we have many dual and multi-sport athletes who play on our teams. We believe in the benefits of cross training, and realize players may wish to play more than one sport, however, there is an “eligibility” requirement that players try their utmost to attend at least 80% of all team practices, scrimmages, tournaments and other events. During summer pre-season preparation and in the Fall league season, we expect that players will be dedicated to soccer. In the Winter and Spring, teams will seek to accommodate players playing other sports.
