AYSO's five philosophies separate us from the pack:

Everyone Plays, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, 
Positive Coaching, & Good Sportsmanship.

 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.
