EVERYONE PLAYS®

Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50 percent of every game. It's no fun to spend the game on the bench...and that's no way to learn soccer!

BALANCED TEAMS

Each year we form new teams through a tryout process. It's more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates and grow and develop together.

OPEN REGISTRATION

Our program is open to all children who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria to tryout for our teams.

POSITIVE COACHING

Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. A coach can be one of the most influential people in a child's life, so AYSO United requires they create a positive experience for every athlete.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP

At AYSO United, we place a high value on sportsmanship, respect, and representing our club with integrity, on and off the field.

While MSYSA, MSPSP, and tournaments each have their own guidelines for handling red card incidents, please know that our club reserves the right to go above and beyond these minimum requirements when addressing disciplinary issues.

 What this means for our players:
-Any red card received will be reviewed by the club.
-A first red card essentially places the player on probation within AYSO United.
-Future red card incidents may result in increased disciplinary action, which could include additional suspensions, probationary terms or other consequences as determined by the club leadership. 

Our intent is not to punish for the sake of punishment, but to encourage accountability, personal growth, and respect—for the game, teammates, opponents, referees, and the values our club represents.

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. We are a “Player Development and Winning” program but our core focus is making sure each athletes Individual Player Development remains paramount.
