| Everyone Plays® | | Our goal is for kids to play soccer, so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50% of every game. | | 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. | | Open Registration | | All children between 4 and 19 years of age who wants to play soccer will play. 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 motivated players. | | Good Sportsmanship | | We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. | | 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. | |
Here in AYSO, Everyone Plays means that no kid spends their soccer experience sitting on the bench. Every kid plays at least half of every game.
We do our best to put together our teams in a way that makes playing soccer about the experience, not wins or losses. All coaches in each division work together to put together the best balanced teams that we possibly can.
It’s not about blowing out another team with an unbelievable score; it’s about sportsmanship and learning to be the best possible team mate and opponent.
Developing players is what we’re about, because soccer skills and life skills go hand in hand. AYSO’s main purpose is to get kids on the field, provide them with good coaches, and teach them to play soccer.
