Summer Soccer

Mission Statement
The philosophy of this AYSO organization, Region 1409 is to educate and develop young people by encouraging their interest and participation in soccer through the following concepts:

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 half of every game.

Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible—because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.

Open Registration
Our program is open to all children between 5 and 18 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.

Positive Coaching
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.

Good Sportsmanship
We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.

Conduct
Please be advised that our parent organization, AYSO, prohibits all smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages in and around the playing area at sanctioned events.
