The 10U, 12U, (and 14U, if more than one team) fall divisions participate in a HMB post-season tournament to determine which team will attend the Area Tournament in December (held in Foster City on Dec. 6th and 7th in 2025), with the potential to advance and play at the Section and Western States Tournaments.  Cost for post-season play is included in fall registration.

For all divisions with more than three teams, the tournament format is double elimination - each team continues in the tournament until it has lost twice.  For divisions with three teams, the tournament format (round-robin play) guarantees each team at least two games, as does a two-match series for divisions with two teams. Click here for the complete set of rules.  Note that tournament play may include matches on Sundays in late October and November and/or may include days on which a team will have to play two (or more) games.

• 10U Boys - Tournament will run 10/25 through 11/2
• 10U Girls - Tournament will run 10/26 through 11/2
•  12U Boys - Tournament will run 10/26 through 11/2
• 12U Girls - Tournament will run 10/26 through 11/2 (two-match series)
  
•  14U Boys - No local tournament, since there is only one HMB team (automatic qualifier for Area Tournament)
• 14U Girls - No HMB Teams in 2025

Our core program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement and learning that happens on the fields. AYSO is best known for its core program – it’s where the large majority of kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime.

There are six core values – or what we call AYSO’s Six Philosophies – that are the foundation of our core program, and all others: 

- Everyone Plays
- Balanced Teams
- Open Registration
- Positive Coaching
- Good Sportsmanship
- Player Development. 

These are the essence of AYSO and it all starts with Everyone Plays.  Here in AYSO, Everyone Plays means that no kid spends their soccer experience sitting on the bench.  Every kid plays at least half of every game.  Also, teams are put together in a way that makes playing soccer about the experience, not wins or losses.  It’s not about blowing out another team with an unbelievable score; it’s about sportsmanship and learning to be the best possible team mate and opponent.  Developing players is what we’re about, because soccer skills and life skills go hand in hand.  AYSO’s main purpose is to get kids on the field, provide them with good coaches, and teach them to play soccer.
