About
Palo Alto AYSO Region 26 Soccer offers Recreational (Rec) Soccer, Select Soccer, EPIC, 2026 Spring Recreational Soccer, and 2026 Spring Select Tryouts. Children are placed on teams or programs based on their birth year, not their age or school grade level, and boys and girls in preK–12 are placed on teams organized by birth year. The recreational program aims to create balanced teams and states that all players participate no less than 50% of each game, and for players in U10 and up, games are a mix of local play in Palo Alto and travel to nearby regional partners.
