AYSO - Diamond Head Region - 48
About
Established in 1974 as the first AYSO region outside of California, **AYSO Region 48 (Diamond Head)** is a historic cornerstone of youth soccer in East Honolulu. For over 50 years, this volunteer-run organization has been dedicated to providing a world-class soccer program that enriches children’s lives. Grounded in the six core philosophies—Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, and Player Development—Region 48 creates a fun, fair, and safe environment where the focus is on the child's growth and enjoyment of the game, rather than just the final score. **Program Highlights** * **Core Program (Ages 4–19):** Open registration for boys and girls, ensuring balanced teams and guaranteed playing time for every child. * **Service Area:** Serves East Honolulu, specifically the communities of Waialae, Kahala, Aina Haina, Niu Valley, Kuliouou, and Hawaii Kai. * **Fields:** Primary fields include [Kamilo'iki Community Park](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/21.373473,-157.7228747/Kamilo'iki+Community+Park,+7750+Hawaii+Kai+Dr,+Honolulu,+HI+96825/@21.34258,-157.792532,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m1!4e1!1m5!1m1!1s0x7c0012370edb5693:0xf6f5949930a926fe!2m2!1d-157.6866225!2d21.295741?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), [Petrie Park](https://www.google.com/maps?um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=us&sa=X&geocode=KVF5ER9ibQB8MfQKW7_mh1ek&daddr=1039+20th+Ave,+Honolulu,+HI+96816), [Waialae Iki Park](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//Honolulu,+HI+96821/@21.3671698,-157.725832,15z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x7c006d56b5d4c1c3:0x31b049055ac0d6ce!2m2!1d-157.7686771!2d21.2769377?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)
