Lots of Matrix teams have said no to AYSO United.

AYSO United is not getting as many teams in San Diego as they thought. Looks like 85% of the teams will be going to different clubs. Talk about a slap in the face for AYSO United.

It's less of a slap in the face for AYSO United than people know that AYSO United is locked out of a lot of the letter leagues and if you want to play at the highest levels you are going to have to go elsewhere.
 
Maybe the problem is that nobody can keep track of how many different AYSOs there are (United, Extra, Select, Matrix - WTF?)
From what I know with about 15 years' experience of AYSO, United is the only AYSO club circuit, with one more level Alliance sprouting up, not too sure what the difference in levels is on this one, but appears will be the highest level in AYSO.

'Select', is just a continuation of their Core/Recreational fall program, in which coaches 'Select' the players they want on their tournament team for the Spring. These teams usually disband after the Spring season and those players go back into the Core rec program in the Fall, if they return.

Extra and Matrix (same thing/different name depending on geographical area) are year-round developmental programs geared to be more competitive than their Core Program, but not yet club level.
 
The problem with AYSO United is they start forming teams at age 10. By that time, kids who are good at soccer have already moved on to clubs. By age 10, club parents have figured out this league and that league and have learned that SoCal league flight 1 for U11 is really the flight 3 equivalent.
