Has your EXTRA or tournament team outshined the competition this year? Are you having a hard time finding challenging matches? Have traditional clubs set their sights on poaching your players? Are your parents hinting they might jump to club? If you are nodding, then Alliance might be the solution for you.

AYSO wants to harmonize the beautiful game in more ways than just balanced teams. Teams that win repeatedly need stiffer competition for player development, and it’s no fun for the losing teams to have a lopsided bracket. Promoting extraordinary teams to Alliance is win-win for all teams in the pathway.

The process for promotion to Alliance involves a lot of work for the coach. First and foremost, you’ll need to prove your team’s competitiveness. To kick things off, consider applying for a review by the S1 Alliance board to see if your team is eligible.
