About Region 217

Region 217 has been a charter region since February 1980. Physically, it is a large region encompassing southeast Tucson roughly from the corner of Speedway and Alvernon down to I-10, out to Vail and up to 22nd Street (see maps). Over the past 5 years we have averaged over 1,000 players per season. Region 217 strives to uphold the five philosophies of AYSO: positive coaching, open registration, everyone plays, balanced teams and good sportsmanship.

In the Fall 2002 season, the Kids Zone program was introduced to our region. The goal is for our children and parents to learn how to redefine the term "winner". Parents were asked to sign a parent pledge and make sure that any comments made at the games would be positive ones.

AYSO is a volunteer run organization. Nobody is paid! Everyone including the coaches, referees and board members, donate their time to help create the Safe, Fair and Fun environment that we all want for our children. If you would like to help, please contact any board member.
