AYSO is child-first and child-focused. We are a soccer organization with happy, healthy kids as our passion. Every decision, every rule, and every program has “what’s good for kids” as its basis. Every child stepping on a soccer field for the first time can have fun. AYSO’s child-first approach also makes it one of the finest player development programs. Everybody likes to win, but developing successful players and people is fundamental in AYSO.
