AYSC’s mission is to provide a comprehensive program for youth soccer players. The Director of Coaching assigns coaches to each team with input from the coaching staff. The Club places coaches based on their qualifications for each team and age group.



The Club focuses on the long-term growth and development of each player—both as a soccer player and development as a person. Club or team interests, player development, or showcasing players to college coaches may sometimes be given a higher priority than winning. Players and parents need to understand this and conduct themselves in keeping with a healthy team environment. Remember, playing only to win without taking into consideration other factors that are important to the health of a team and its players will not result in a solid foundation for either the team or the players and can have negative effects on team dynamics. Players and parents should understand that attendance and effort at practice can affect playing time. Playing time is not guaranteed and will be at the sole discretion of the coach.
