NEW Leagues for 16U & 19U This fall, high schoolers can choose from two different programs, both offering fun soccer with friends and competitive play against teams from across Area 1C, including Glendale, Arcadia, Alhambra, and other local regions.
The Upper Division Recreational League is for players of all levels looking to practice and play in a well-structured soccer program built on the AYSO core philosophies. Every player makes a team, and rosters will be balanced with an equal distribution of skilled and newer players. This league is like the B16U “House League” we ran last year, but this season, teams from other regions will be part of the fun.
The Upper Division Competitive League is a program for players looking to train and compete alongside more advanced players. There will likely be one team formed per division, with a limited number of roster spots. This league will compete in the familiar upper-division program organized and run by Area 1C.

Who Do We Appreciate? VOLUNTEERS!!
Ever look at our volunteer coaches and referees and think, “Good for them, but definitely not for me”? We completely understand! But did you know that some of our most important roles happen entirely off the field? It takes all kinds of talents to support our soccer league, and we have a place for everyone.
Region 13 is looking for new Volunteers to serve on our Board. Each position presents a range of opportunities and rewards, and each is essential to making our upcoming Fall season a success.
OPEN POSITIONS INCLUDE: |

Trophies Lost in the Fires One of the many meaningful items families lost in last year’s Eaton fire were the trophies Region 13 players earned throughout their time in the program. As part of his Eagle Scout project, Region 13 alumnus Nathan Bowser is helping to restore those special memories by replacing the lost trophies. If your player would like to receive replacements, please take a moment to fill out the form below. |
Letter from the Commissioner
Lately, it feels like my entire world revolves around soccer. Yes, AYSO is hard at work preparing for the upcoming season, with hundreds of volunteers getting ready to welcome over 2,000 players to a fall of soccer fun and friendship. But, as you are not likely to have missed, the World Cup is going on all around us. I joked with someone that I didn’t know what I would do with my time when there aren’t four world-class soccer games happening each day. It’s an exciting time.
On Thursday, I’ll be at the Region 13 Clubhouse for our own watch party. I encourage you to come out and cheer along with the rest of the Region 13 community. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
And—no matter what team you are rooting for—I hope each of you can enjoy this World Cup as it takes place in our own backyard. It’s a chance for each of us to participate in the much larger soccer community in a very special way. I am sure we will each take away memories of this World Cup.
— Patrick Shopbell, your volunteer RC |
