AYSO is excited to introduce a new partnership with Jungo Sports. Jungo is the first and only feedback platform built to put players first while guiding development and connecting the broader youth sports ecosystem for support, player engagement, and retention.
AYSO and Jungo are proud partners sharing the same mission around player experience. The Jungo platform supports the things that matter most about the players’ soccer experience:
- Are kids having fun?
- Are the parents happy with the overall experience?
- Are our volunteers engaged and supported?
Jungo’s mobile app connects the ecosystem of a player by linking players, parents, coaches, teams, and the Region in a real-time feedback loop to ensure that the experience provided is fun and positive for everyone.
Jungo is easy to use, provides instant interaction, and is mobile for all users. Click on your specific area below to learn more about how Jungo can help you as a coach, team manager, parent, and player.

What is the purpose of using Jungo
Can I access Jungo on my desktop or laptop?

I have a young child and they do not have a phone. How do we access Jungo?

Who owns the data and what does Jungo use it for?
You own your own data and can delete your profile at any time. Data is never sold nor used for third-party advertising. Data is only used to deliver programming through Jungo and in conjunction with our partners like AYSO.
