Last Wednesday evening was very special at Fillmore High School; not only did Lady Flashes soccer team score two big wins against Carpinteria, but they hosted AYSO EPIC Night!

AYSO’s EPIC Team was treated to a night of fun, which included a Meet & Greet with the ladies and the chance to run on the field with the starting lineup!

This memorable experience was made possible by the coaches, Lady Flashes, and their Social Media Coordinator, Nancy Vaca.
AYSO EPIC (Everyone Plays In our Community Program) provides athletes with disabilities the additional support they need to fully participate in a quality soccer experience with the help of buddy volunteers.

The program has more than doubled in its second year thanks to the help of EPIC Coordinator, Nancy Rodriguez Hernandez, the AYSO board, led by Regional Commissioner, Arnold Muñoz, and buddy volunteers.

AYSO EPIC is currently looking for buddy volunteers for the 2024 season which starts in August. For more information please contact Nancy at (323) 385-1106 or aysoepicfillmore@gmail.com.
