About AYSO

AYSO is a nationwide non-profit organization that develops and delivers quality youth soccer programs in a fun, family environment based on AYSO's Six Philosophies: Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship & Player Development.


  • 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.
  • Player Development We strive to have each player develop their skills...
