History
SAYS Soccer was founded in March 2001 by the Real Gold Aguilas as a Competitive Soccer Club with 33 registered players. By June 2001 the Real Gold Aguilas Soccer club opened its first summer season with 6 teams (103 players) under Stockton Youth Soccer. In early August 2001 Real Gold Aguilas Soccer Club (Stockton Youth Soccer) became an affiliated member of a National Organization. In March 2003 the Board of Directors recommended a name change and Stockton Youth Soccer became Stockton American Youth Soccer, (SAYS Soccer).

As a result of the effort of the Board of Directors and volunteers, the Stockton American Youth Soccer, SAYS Soccer, continues offering quality youth soccer programs to children in our communities where they practice and play games in a fun and competitive environment.

Since founded in 2001, SAYS Soccer has provided an opportunity for players in San Joaquin and Stanislaus County regardless of economic barriers to compete in soccer. Teams are made up predominantly of inner-city Latino youth, but include Asian-American, African-American, and European-American, as well as suburban youth. The diversity of the Stockton American Youth Soccer, SAYS Soccer creates a synergy and also teaches valuable long term life lessons to participants.
