AYSO Core Soccer Program
Our
Core Program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement and learning that happens on the fields. AYSO is best known for our
Core Program -- it's where the large majority of kids fall in love with soccer and make memories that will last a lifetime.
There are six core values -- or what we call
AYSO's Six Philosophies -- that are the foundation of our core program, and all others:
- Everyone Plays
- Balanced Teams
- Open Registration
- Positive Coaching
- Good Sportsmanship
- Player Development
These are the essence of AYSO and it all starts with Everyone Plays.
Here in AYSO, Everyone Plays means that no kid spends their soccer experience sitting on the bench. Every kids plays at least half of every game. See below to learn more about AYSO's Six Philosophies.
Also, teams are put together in a way that makes playing soccer about the experience, not wins or losses. It's not about blowing out another team with an unbelievable score; it's about sportsmanship and learning to be the best possible team mate and opponent. Developing players is what we're about, because soccer skills and life skills go hand in hand. AYSO's main purpose is to get kids on the field, provide them with good coaches, and teach them to play soccer.
