AYSO Region 21 Hawthorne

Grew up playing this region and loved it. However, now as an adult, it is in a downfall. The commissioner is a jerk who tries only to feed his ego. And communication for such a long-​standing organization is pathetic.
I volunteered 1 week before the season to coach due to lack of coaches. Getting any responses or feedback from any of the people in charge is a challenge. And when I do get a response, it’s not from my divisional commisioner, but the regional one. Whose professionalism is lacking to say the least.
The teams are computer generated, and were so lopsided, that we lost games by double digits.
I enjoy coaching these kids (12−13yrs) who try really hard, and are competitive, but when they don’t want to play anymore due to these cicumstances I feel sorry. Not only for them, but this league which is in disarray.
As a parent, it is a great to put my stepson in soccer, so we will seek another region, but as a coach, I am unsure I will ever do so again, for fear of another disorganized gathering of self righteous fools who run this league.

My daughter loves playing soccer with this division. It really does build confidence in your child and helps them learn how accomplish things together as a team. The parents are also very involved and a great place to meet lots of people with children of the same age group. Negative side, the season is way too short. They definitely need to add another month to it or so. Also there’s no office, everything is done by phone or email. Sign up day is held at Dana Middle School. The first time around can be confusing. I also hate u don’t get any say in your child’s team or color uniform. The green color uniforms are absolutely awfully ugly & too bright. My daughter got a yucky yellow, which I so didn’t want. All the other teams colors were awesome. At least make the green team an olive or avocado looking color.
