The staff of Region 37 is happy to provide you with an invitation to the 21st Annual Pony Express Winter Soccer Tournament.  We are very proud of the results of our 2011 tournament and the efficiency with which it was accomplished and are very confident that this year’s tournament will be even better!  We are expecting approximately 150 teams to be participating this year, with awards going to the 1^st through 4^th place teams in each flight.  Each team is guaranteed three games.

The 2012 Pony Express will be conducted January 14^th thru 16^th, 2012 at our soccer facilities in Corona - Norco, for all AYSO teams in the U9/U10, U11/U12 & U13/U14 age divisions, which includes Extra teams.  All players and coaches will receive t—shirts, tournament pins and programs as well as other goodies.  We are planning LA Galaxy fun events and other Galaxy item giveaways.  We are also hoping to have Galaxy player appearances and promotional activities at the tournament site.

The tournament fee is $500 for U13/U14, $475 for U11/U12, and $450 for U9/U10, with a requirement of an additional $200 referee deposit.  Each team will be required to supply three AYSO qualified referees to do a minimum of three games.  Teams that provide a referee team that completes the required amount of game assignments will have their referee deposit refunded to them within ten days of the conclusion of the tournament.  Each referee completing assignments (including standby assignments) will receive a tournament pin, coin and refreshments.  Individual referees completing three or more assignments will receive a free tournament T-shirt.
