AYSL is a recreation soccer league with the focus being on the fun of playing the game, great exercise and making friends. All players are guaranteed to play at least half of each game with games on Saturdays plus some weekday games at the end of the season.

Last year almost 1,200 players participated, and parental involvement is needed to get teams organized and keep things fun. For more information, send an email toAYSL9589@aol.com or call Jim at 586-0589 or Mike at586-2147. League Web site is eteamz.com/AYSL.
