Lead by Coaches Julio Sanchez and Jerry Rodriguez, Region 60's 13UG Team takes 2nd Place at the 2023 AYSO National Games!
AYSO is excited to bring back its National Games from July 24-30, 2023 in beautiful Orange County, California [click here]. The first National Games were held in 1998 and started out as a “good idea” that took the strength of volunteer power to pull it off. Being held nearly every-other-year since, the National Games attracts teams from all over the country in the following divisions:
CORE: 10U | 12U | 14U | 16U | 19U
EXTRA: 10U | 11U | 12U | 13U | 14U | 16u
Regions/teams must apply to participate far in advance. Due to the high demand and need for geographic representation, teams are selected through rounds of lottery drawings.
Region 60 was fortunate to win spots for five of our team (more than any other Region in the West San Gabriel Valley) and we are proud to be sending some of our top talent in players, coaches, referees and other volunteers:
- 10UB Core – Coach Jim Jaime
- 10UG Core – Coach Andrew Ramirez
- 11UG EXTRA – Coach Manny Olea
- 13UB EXTRA – Coach Brett Wakino
- 13UG EXTRA – Coach Julio Sanchez
Our teams each played up to 7 games over the length of the tournament, facing off against opponents from all over California, Arizona, Hawaii, Illinois and Florida.
Teams are pictured below and on our social media page [ayso_region60]. Results are posted on-line: [click here]
