Welcome
AYSO's mission is to provide quality youth soccer programs where everyone builds positive character through participation in a fun, family-oriented environment. We achieve this by adhering to (6) fundamental principles:
AYSO's Six Philosophies
AYSO's philosophies are living tenets that separate it from other sports organizations. They are Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching,
Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.
Everyone Plays®
Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every playeron every team must play at least 50% of every game. It’s no fun to spend the game on the bench…and that’s no way to learn soccer!
Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it’s
more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
Open Registration
Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
Positive Coaching
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. A coach can be one of the most influential people in a child’s life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience
for every boy and girl.
Good Sportsmanship
We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather
than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good
sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
Player Development
We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
