The Core Season marked 50 years of Region 60 offering a recreational youth soccer program to our Alhambra and Monterey Park communities. As an all-volunteer-run organization, we are deeply grateful to every individual who stepped forward to support our players and families.

In honor of our 50th anniversary, we proudly recognize the 27 volunteer board members who work tirelessly on and off the field to keep the program running, the 97 coaches and 55 assistant coaches who made it possible for 997 youths to play soccer, the 164 referees—including 32 youth referees—who took on the responsibility and pressure of officiating games, and the 55 team managers who kept everything organized behind the scenes.  

In total, 398 dedicated volunteers made this season possible. Thank you!

 

This year also introduced and celebrated several exciting highlights:

• Schoolyard Sidekicks, a mentorship collaboration pairing upper-division players with our incoming schoolyard players at both opening and closing ceremonies

• Dedicated weeks of appreciation for our coaches, referees, team managers, and youth referees

• The third-year return of Kick or Treat

• Our second annual Coach Exhibition Game

• Introduction of a referee mentor program

And the addition of new local vendors who joined us at various events.  

Thank you to our incredible community for another successful and memorable Core Season. Here’s to 50 years—and many more—of soccer, teamwork, and volunteer spirit at Region 60!
