AYSO EPIC
The mission of the AYSO EPIC Program (formerly AYSO VIP) is to provide a quality soccer experience for individuals whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult for them to successfully participate on mainstream soccer teams.
What is successful participation? It should be defined by the player’s enjoyment and the safety of all team members.
When our children gather to play sports they are practicing socialization, learning from each other and making friendships that will last into their adulthood.
BONITA AYSO REGION 116 is building Everyone Plays In our Community (EPIC) team(s) for players with special needs. Residence in the Chula Vista/Bonita area is not required. Any child wishing to learn about soccer is welcome.
All AYSO EPIC teams are traveling teams. They play games on their home fields and alternate traveling to games with other AYSO EPIC teams in Rancho Penasquitos, La Mesa, El Cajon, Mira Mesa and Tierrasanta.
Teams also play tournaments in Pico Rivera, San Clemente and Santee.
