AYSO
Hall of Fame
 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 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. Click here to connect to AYSO website
