Battle of the Cities is cancelled

Due to circumstances outside our control, Battle of the Cities on November 21 at Willard Elementary in Pasadena is cancelled.

We are sorry for the disappointment. There are more opportunities to play ahead: explore our camps and Winter League below, or register your interest in future tournaments.

What can we all do next?

Whether you are a family looking for more soccer, a coach bringing a team, a school exploring opportunities for its players or part of our AYSO World Cup, there are ways to stay involved.

We hope to run a similar program between Christmas and New Year, but it is not confirmed. Use our interest form to tell us what your family, team or school would like to see, and join our tournament WhatsApp group for updates.

For AYSO World Cup players, Battle of the Cities will no longer be the next event on November 21. The AYSO World Cup sessions themselves are not cancelled by this announcement.

The interest form does not reserve a place or require payment.

Help them want to play again.

More involvement, a challenge that fits, encouragement and friendships. That is the experience we want children to take home, and it guides the decisions we make.
