AYSO EPIC Soccer Program

Inclusive Soccer for Players With Disabilities


AYSO Area 2J South Bay EPIC Soccer


AYSO has rebranded its VIP Program to EPIC, which stands for Everyone Plays In our Community. Details of the AYSO rebranding and program here. The mission of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide players with disabilities the additional support they need to fully participate in a quality soccer experience. The ultimate goal of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide a holistic AYSO experience for players, families, and volunteers, from team uniforms, to playing on a team, to cheering from the sidelines, for all participants.

AYSO invites kids from all around the Bay Area to participate in this inclusive program for kids with challenges in areas such as:
1) Cognitive or Development
2) Vision
3) Sensory
4) Deafness or Hard of Hearing
5) Speech or Communication
6) Mobility


The 10 week program runs in Fall and Spring each year on Sunday afternoons.
- Players play on teams
- A volunteer buddy plays with/next to each player.
- To volunteer to be a buddy, go to South Bay VIP Soccer for more information

For more information go to South Bay VIP Soccer and return here to register.
