AYSO Region 318 has been bringing fun, family-centered youth soccer to the Carson Valley, Nevada area since 1981. We proudly serve hundreds of players ages 3 to 14 from Indian Hills and Genoa to Minden and Gardnerville, Topaz Ranch/Wellington, and Markleeville—no tryouts required. 

As an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, we’re dedicated to creating a positive, welcoming soccer experience where every player can grow, build confidence, and be part of a team.

Guided by AYSO’s core principles—everyone plays, positive coaching, balanced teams, good sportsmanship, open registration, and player development—we’re proud to bring families together through the love of the game.

Our region is structured under Area 2-F, which is made up of nine (9) regions of the American Youth Soccer Organization throughout Western Nevada and East Central California. Our programs are staffed and run entirely by community volunteers stepping up as coaches, referees, and administrators—training provided! 

GREAT SOCCER STARTS HERE! 

SEASON OVERVIEW

Carson Valley AYSO Region 318 focuses on AYSO Core which is recreational soccer available for kids in our region, ages 3-14, no tryouts needed. We play throughout the year with both a Fall Season and a Spring Season and often host summer soccer camps too.

Which division will my player be placed in?  

New Age Groups / Divisions for the Fall 2026 Season: 
Beginning with the 2026-2027 AYSO membership year (starting with the Fall 2026 season), the AYSO is changing to a more school year-like age division system, aligning with U.S. Soccer and other major youth soccer organizations. 

Under this model, a player’s division is based on their age during the school-year timeframe of August 1 through July 31.
