To operate a soccer program where young people can learn to develop a positive self-image, self-confidence and other positive character traits through their interest and participation in soccer based on our philosophy of:
| 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. | ||
| At the start of each primary season we form teams as evenly balanced as possible because it is more fun where teams of equal ability play. | ||
| Winning Kids are built up, not torn 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. | ||
| Our program is open to all children between 4 1/2 and 18 years of age who want to register and play soccer in our program. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. | ||
| We desire 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. | ||
