Our core program is the foundation for all the fun, excitement and learning that happens on the fields. AYSO is best known for its 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 kid plays at least half of every game.  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.

Soccer is for people of all ages – even the little ones!  

AYSO created Schoolyard, or the 5U program, for four and five-year-olds.  Schoolyard uses group activities, soccer themes and parent participation to develop the fundamental motor skills that prepare kids for all sports.

Our Schoolyard program is led by a professional Master Coach from the UK Challenger Sports, assisted by volunteer parent coaches.  In Schoolyard, children get to play soccer in an age-specific program, and we encourage you, the parents, get to participate with them! 

Sessions are 45 minutes each Saturday morning during the season.  There are no practices during the week in this division.
