If you can pay $1450 for a year of club that is amazing. In the OC area clubs cost between $2700 and $3200. In this area AYSO has been playing in Coast league, but our teams have come up against them in tournaments. In my experience, they do not play kick ball or "favor direct". Each one we have played has followed closely the direction of Bright and work a very nice spread field, possession, style. Not afraid to pass backwards, switch the field, work the give and go, etc. The did tend to be a bit on the smaller side and a bit less athletic than "the big clubs", but that's to be expected since most of their teams were Silver or below.
If my kids were just starting in club, and not already 6 years in, I'd definitely consider them as a great "first club" option.
