Welcome, AYSO 232 Families, to an exciting new chapter in competitive youth soccer here in the Verde Valley! As we embark on the 2025 season, Verde Valley United F.C. stands proud as the competitive extension of AYSO 232’s Recreational Season, operating under the esteemed AYSO Alliance Program. This initiative, part of AYSO's "Player Pathway", paves the way for our talented athletes to advance to higher levels of competition. Last year marked a significant milestone as we consolidated our competitive teams under the Verde Valley United F.C. banner.
As we gear up for another spectacular season, we're on the lookout for committed individuals to join us in filling pivotal roles such as Program Director, Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Paid Trainers, and an Administrative position. The 2025 season is scheduled to commence with tryouts on December 7th and 14th, culminating in our much-anticipated first tournament in late January. If you or someone you know is passionate about youth sports and eager to contribute to the growth of competitive soccer in our region, we invite you to apply for these roles via AYSO232.org starting October 21st.
The duration of the Verde Valley United F.C. season offers flexibility, largely dependent on the preferences of individual coaches. While the official season concludes at the end of May, coaches may choose to extend participation in tournaments, provided there is agreement among the majority of team members and sufficient funds are raised independently by each team. Regarding program costs, returning players can expect an approximate fee of around $500, whereas new members to the club should budget around $800. Please note that these are rough figures and are subject to vary slightly depending on the number of players rostered on the team.
It is essential to note that participation with Verde Valley United F.C. in the past season does not guarantee placement in the current teams. All players must participate in open tryouts scheduled for December 7th or 14th, where they will compete for their spots. These tryouts are crucial as selections are based on performance, ensuring that the best players earn their place on the team.
Reflecting on the achievements of our inaugural season, we are immensely proud of our teams' exceptional performance and the remarkable sportsmanship they brought to tournaments across Arizona. With over 70 players showcasing their talents, our teams secured gold medals, triumphantly competing against seasoned opponents. This legacy of excellence fuels our commitment to nurturing young talent and championing competitive soccer in our local community. Join us as we continue to build on this momentum and look forward to an unforgettable 2025 season with Verde Valley United F.C.!
