Appleseed Youth Soccer Association:
The Appleseed Youth Soccer Association (A.Y.S.A.) for Youth was formed to provide an organization within which children could learn and play soccer. The fact that any size player can be successful at the game and the modest expense required to field a team makes it possible for many children to participate in organized competition. These factors, plus the enthusiam of the children once they've played the game, have resulted in a rapid growth of the Appleseed Youth Soccer Association program.
It is the function of Appleseed Youth Soccer Association to provide guidance and instruction for new participants, an organizational structure to form leagues and schedule games, and to prescribe rules and regulations which will ensure safe, enjoyable and fair competition.
A youth program should be as its name inplies: A PROGRAM FOR KIDS. To win at any cost may be the proper attitude for the highly skilled professional, but is contradictory to the basic objectives of the Appleseed Youth Soccer Association.
The overall objective of Appleseed Youth Soccer Association is maximum participation with even competition at various age levels.
The Appleseed Youth Soccer Association believes that adherence to this basic principal has been the prime factor in its rapid growth, and that high school, college and professional soccer will be provided with more and better players as a result of our program.
