AYSO 678 is a non-profit organization whose vision is to provide world class soccer programs that enriches the lives of our Santa Clarita children. It accomplishes this by developing and delivering, a youth soccer program which promotes a fun, family environment, based on AYSO’s Six Philosophies of: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.

AYSO 678 offers a program suitable for all levels of play. The Core Program is made available for all kids between the ages of four and 18.  For players between the ages of eight and 13 looking for a higher level of competitiveness, AYSO 678 offers an EXTRA Program, with teams competing against inter-Sectional AYSO EXTRA teams from Southern California.

Region 678 also participates in the AYSO United club soccer program for accomplished players wishing to play within the Coast Soccer League.

Region 678 also offers a VIP (Very Important Players) Program for children and adults whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream teams. VIP teams may include players who are blind or visually impaired, players who are amputees or with conditions that impair mobility, mentally or emotionally challenged players, and/ or players with autism, Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.
