The American Youth Soccer Organization develops and delivers
quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun,
family environment based on our six philosophies:
Everyone Plays® – Our 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 – We require every region at the start of each season to set up teams as evenly balanced as possible. It’s more fun when teams are of equal ability.
Positive Coaching – This builds a positive team spirit. We train and encourage our coaches to make the extra effort to understand and offer positive help to our players, rather than negative criticism.
Open Registration – Our programs are open to all children ages 4 – 18 who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only requirements for playing.
Good Sportsmanship – We create a positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. All of our programs are 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.
EXTRA is Step 2 in AYSO’s player development program.
The EXTRA PROGRAM, is designed for players who have the interest, skills and abilities and want to enhance their experience and individual growth through soccer while retaining the spirit of and organization membership in AYSO.
The EXTRA Program strengthens AYSO by recruiting and retaining players and volunteers through providing more competitive play.
The AYSO Way – all EXTRA programs embrace the Six Philosophies of AYSO.
EXTRA programs may include U-19 through U-16 players.
