The American Youth Soccer
Organization - Area
2N
AYSO Mission Statement
American Youth Soccer Organization's mission is to develop and deliver quality
youth soccer programs where everyone builds positive character through
participation in a fun, family environment based on the AYSO 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 - because it's more fun when teams of equal ability play.
Positive Coaching - The way to make
winning kids is by building them up, not down. 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 between the ages of 4 1/2 and 18 who want to register
and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.
Good Sportsmanship - We desire to
create a positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a
win-at-all-costs attitude. All our programs must be designed to instill good
sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
The core values which guide the American Youth Soccer Organization are:
• Fun for all
• Education for all
• Ethics for all
• Accessible to all
The mission is accomplished by providing these essential services:
• Coaching and referee programs including quality delivery systems
• Quality
administrative and operating systems with a support network
• Strong financial
position
• Special network
for volunteers, supported by a national staff
• Program research
and development
