Great Soccer Is Played Here!

12U Program

The 12U program was developed to continue player development in a fun yet competitive environment. After the completion of the regular season, a postseason tournament is played with the top two teams receiving trophies.

The winner of the postseason tournament is eligible to move on to the AYSO Area 11l tournament.
