The 2014 AYSO National tournament marks the 50th anniversary of the AYSO, making this year’s tournament particularly special for the organization.  To commemorate this special year, the AYSO will invite 24 teams to participate in brackets from the U10 age group through U19 for boys and girls.   Approximately 500 teams from all over the nation will be converge on the cities of Torrance and Riverside in Southern California this summer to compete. 

“We have started playing the spring season, and our fundraising has been pretty successful so far, but we can always use more help through buying tickets or just donating online using our donation website.” says Team Manager, Greg Pierce, “We have 15 great young ladies on this team, and both myself and Coach Manny Cotla look forward to playing in those National games!”

The team players also took part in the San Bruno Park & Recreation annual Easter Egg hunt – they helped pint faces, hide eggs, color sidewalks and escort the Easter Bunny on his rounds. It was great to see the players helping out the younger children on this very eggciting day!

Coach Manny and Greg promise that San Bruno will not be disappointed by your representatives at this National Tournament.  We will play hard and fair and we thank everyone in San Bruno for their support.
