AYSO IS A NATIONWIDE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS AND DELIVERS QUALITY YOUTH SOCCER PROGRAMS IN A FUN, FAMILY
ENVIRONMENT BASED ON AYSO'S FIVE PHILOSOPHIES:

Everyone Plays

Our program’s goal is for kids to play soccer—so we mandate that every player on
every team must play at least half of every game.

Balanced Teams

Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible—because it is
fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.

Open Registration

Our program is open to all children between 4-1/2 and 19 years of age who
want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are
the only criteria for playing.

Positive Coaching

Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the
players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.

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.
