AJAX East Bay Soccer Club plans to return to play according to the state and county health guidelines. The Board of Directors holds the health of the players, families, and staff to the highest regard. Returning players to play competitive games will be a phased approach. 

As the club transitions to train and to compete, please contact your coach if there are questions.

   • Groups of players cannot play against each other.
