AYSO 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 6 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.
 
Remember, it's for the kids!
