AYSO is where kids learn soccer.  It's a community soccer program with a national reputation.  Its mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO's Six 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 team 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.  Encourage 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 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.
