AYSO ALLIANCE- SOCCER
We are pleased to announce the formation of a local AYSO Alliance Club Program for the upcoming 2021-2022 soccer season (July 2021 - May 2022). Our AYSO Area, which includes the Regions of Knoxville and surrounding counties will be one of the first locations in Tennessee to offer the AYSO Alliance Club Program. The new program will complement the other AYSO programs by giving players, families and volunteers who want to remain within AYSO the opportunity to play at a different level and in different leagues.
