History
Tradition… it is the cornerstone for everything we have ever done
or will do. In 1988, West Broward AYSO changed their name to AYSO
Region 644 serving the communities of Weston, Pembroke Pines, Sunrise,
and all of the other neighboring cities. AYSO Region 644 - Weston,
Florida has had a relatively short existence, just nineteen years,
yet we have grown from 300 youth players to approximately 3,750
players in fall and spring leagues during that short period of time.
Children who began in our program at the time that they were just
entering kindergarten are now off to college, we believe just a
little better off due to the positive experiences that they had
growing up AYSO.
We
have two distinct soccer seasons, one in the fall which runs from
early September through early December and a second season which
runs from early February through mid May. But we don't stop there…
Beginning in 2006 our developmental program, AYSO Select, started
as an enhancement to our regular core program. The select teams
are selected by age groups (for the U7 division on up) to train,
develop, and participate in AYSO State Games, AYSO National Games
and select soccer tournaments throughout Florida. We also offer
the VIP (Very Important Player) program for emotionally and physically
challenged individuals. In addition, we offer mens and ladies soccer
leagues which begin in September and run through May.
Location
