AYSO Philosophy

The AYSO Mission is to develop and deliver a quality youth soccer program where everyone builds positive character through participation in a fun, fair, safe, family environment based on the AYSO philosophies:

Everyone Plays

Our 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

We set up teams as evenly balanced as possible - because it's more fun when teams of equal ability play.

Positive Coaching

The way to make winning kids is by building them up, not down. We train and encourage our coaches to make the extra effort to understand and offer positive help to our players, rather than negative criticism.

Open Registration

Our programs are open to all children between the ages of 4 1/2 and 18 who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.

Good Sportsmanship

We desire to create a positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. All our programs must be designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
