The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) was a grassroots movement that got its start in California 60 years ago. Hear how it helped overcome lack of awareness and even prejudice about soccer in the United States, how it grew from 125 players into one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the country, and why orange slices were first passed out to players. Sam Conselman, longtime soccer player and Davis AYSO's registrar tells us how the organization gives kids a chance to experience the beautiful game of soccer. Then visit Torrance, the birthplace of AYSO, home to the 2nd largest Japanese population in the country, and check out its Pacific shoreline and 43-acre Madrona Marsh.

Some individuals’ work in Davis is so visible that they end up personifying their jobs. Today’s guest is one of those folks — Bruce Gallaudet, a longtime, prolific writer about sports in Davis. A former editor and sports editor of the Davis Enterprise, he has retired from the news organization twice, and recently returned for the second time. Officially, he’s now a sports correspondent for the paper.
On today’s Davisville our topics include why he’s back, how he’s working within the limits imposed by a publication that’s a fraction of its former size, and what people miss when they dismiss sports stories as uninteresting. "There's a great deal of flavor in sports," he says.

Today we talk with Robin Dewey, president of Team Davis, which says its mission is to "help enrich the lives of children and adults with developmental, intellectual and/or physical disabilities living in or close to Davis. We sponsor athletic, social, recreational and educational activities that help build physical skills, a sense of camaraderie, and a more fully integrated connection with the Davis community for our participants and their families and support staff."
Team Davis is run almost entirely by volunteers. They enrich lives as well as our community.
