About AYSO Region 256

Who are we?

We are part of a national non-profit, all-volunteer youth soccer organization committed to providing a safe, fair, and fun experience for all players and family members -- whether soccer novices or experts.  

We support boys and girls teams for the following age groups: 

• Playground (informal play that starts at 3 years old)

• Under 6 years old

• Under 8 years old

• Under 10 years old

• Under 12 years old

• Under 14 years old

• Under 16 years old

• Under 19 years old

Where do we play?

We play at the Manzanita Youth Sports Complex located in Monterey County's beautiful Manzanita Park in Prunedale. Our complex is roughly 10 miles from Salinas, 20 miles from Monterey and 60 miles from San Jose. It takes approximately 15 minutes from Salinas, 25 minutes from Monterey and an hour travel time from San Jose with no traffic.

Address:

Manzanita Youth Sports Complex

Manzanita Park

17100 Castroville Blvd

Prunedale, CA 93907

Our facility includes a Snack Shack and restrooms. We have dedicated fields for our 10U, 1U2 and 14U+ divisions. Our 8U play on fields shared with the complex's youth softball league and our 6U and Playground divisions utilize the 10U field prior to the start of the 10U matches. 

All of our fields are natural grass and we play rain-or-shine – so extra clothes and plastic bags for muddy soccer clothes (and for use as seat protectors) are recommended for wet weather.

Field #1 is the first field on the right as after you pass the stop sign in the park. Field #3 is the second field on the right. Field #2 is hidden from the parking area and is just below the soccer snack shack, which is next to Field #1.
