SPONSORSHIPS
American Youth Soccer Organization
More than 600,000 boys and girls, ages 4 to 18, lace up their soccer cleats every August as they prepare to play a new American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) season.
Supported by 225,000 volunteers, AYSO is a nationwide non–profit organization that develops and delivers quality youth soccer programs in a fun, family environment based on AYSO’s philosophies:
- Everyone Plays
- Balanced Teams
- Open Registration
- Positive Coaching
- Good Sportsmanship
The Chilean Avocado Importers Association is a proud AYSO sponsor because it believes that young people should lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
During the fall and winter, soccer families across the United States can enjoy Chilean Hass Avocados as snacks during games, post-game and season-ending parties. This great tasting fruit is versatile and good for the entire family.
Tips for Soccer Families – Spread it On
Take a tip from the folks in Chile and use rich and smooth Chilean Hass Avocados as a spread on sandwiches, wraps, burritos, burgers, hot dogs or just toast. The avocado spread adds great flavor.
For portable spreading, slice and pit several Chilean Hass Avocados and scoop the fruit into a zipper top bag. Close the bag and mash the avocado with your hands until it’s spreadable. Cut a tip off one of the bottom corners and pipe the spread onto chips, sandwiches, veggies, etc.
Avocados do discolor if exposed to the air for some time, but with the bag trick you can cut and mash at home, squeeze out all the air before sealing the bag and then put it in the team cooler to pipe onto pita chips for a snack. Better take enough for the rest of the families!
Chivas USA and Chilean Hass Avocados Score for Consumers
In 1914, Chilean Ramón Unzaga created an exciting move in soccer – an overhead kick called the ‘bicycle kick’ or the ‘chilena’. Since then, Chile has been a nation in love with soccer.
As a way to help connect with soccer fans in the United States, the Chilean Avocado Importers Association has become a proud sponsor of Chivas USA — an exciting Major League Soccer (MLS) team that captures Chile’s competitive spirit and beauty on the soccer pitch.
Many soccer fans know the iconic Chivas brand given their longtime popularity in Guadalajara, México and around the world. Southern California-based Latinos are also extremely passionate about rooting for the very diverse Chivas USA team. Thousands of fans flock to see them play whether they're on the road or at the beautiful Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
Through its winning partnership with Chivas USA, the Chilean Avocado Importers Association reaches Latino and general market consumers through extensive Hass avocado sampling, in-store retail appearances by players and Chivas Girls, impactful in-stadium exposure and extensive community outreach including Chivas USA Youth Soccer Clinics, youth leagues and tournaments at parks all across Southern California.
