AYSO
Mission Statement
& Philosophies
AYSO's Mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO's 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 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
