The DYSL shall be affiliated and comply with the authority to the California Youth Soccer Association.

Opening Day 2014 Come on out to Deer Valley High School on Saturday, August 2nd for the DYSL Opening Day Celebration. The parade starts at 9:00 am lead by our TopSoccer kids. Team pictures will be taken throughout the day in the stadium. There will be food and refreshments available all day. You won't go away hungry or thirsty. Please support our competitive teams, as this is how they raise money for travel and tournaments expenses. These teams compete all over the Bay Area and beyond representing DYSL. We will have a DJ playing music. This is a fun, enjoyable, family friendly event celebrating the opening of our soccer season. Please note: The back parking at Deer Valley High is closed due to construction. The only entrance open will be on the Lone Tree Way side. Parking will be limited, so plan accordingly. Extra parking is available at the Antioch Community Center across the street.

Our goal is to have each U6 team get one visit and each U8 and U10 team have two sessions with the trainers. Each practice will be on soccer fundamentals. Ideally each coach will be able to run similar sessions him/herself for subsequent practices. You can expect an email from the UK coordinator Stephen Looker stephen.looker@uksoccer.com to arrange the practice. All sessions will be at AYSC, so U10's will need to change location for their session only. Fridays are open to all teams and age groups so if you are coaching U12 or older or a comp team, and would like a UK trainer to work with your team, please contact Stephen to schedule. This will be first come, first served. Chris Gaughan 7/10/14 2:28 PM 2014 Coaching Courses Click HERE to go to the Course Enrollment page.
