IMPORTANT NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS
 
Mission
Our mission is to instill a love of the sport, foster good sportsmanship, and encourage players and their families to have a fun, positive experience. We are player-centered and development-minded, and our program is designed for all interests and skill levels.

Getting Involved
The JYAA soccer program has the highest number of participants among all JYAA programs, and it continues to thrive! As we grow, we encourage you to get involved—whether as a coach or volunteer. Most teams have two dedicated coaches, and many generous community members step up to support our league in countless ways. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the selfless contributions of parents and volunteers. Your efforts make a real impact, and to show our appreciation, we offer volunteer credits that can be applied toward registration fees. Please consider registering as a volunteer at the end of the registration process. If you would like to volunteer, but do not see an opportunity applicable to you, please contact [email protected].

*****Uniforms*****

You are required to buy a uniform for your athlete if you don't already have one from a previous season. Orders can take up to 4 weeks to deliver, so please order the proper size as soon as you finish registering your child. We have a sample of every size and type if you need to do a uniform fitting.

This kit can be ordered from TeamHub Sports. Our organizational code is JYAA 24. This website has all of the required uniform kit items, but also a ton of other great soccer merchandise if you need any equipment.


The proper uniform kit components are as follows:

  • U4 to U8 Pre_K to Grade 2 will use the red & charcoal jersey kit + black socks
  • U9 to U12 | Grade 3 to Grade 6 will use the white & red jersey kit + black socks
  • U13 & U14 | Grade 7 & 8 will use the white & red Strikers jersey kit + both shorts + black socks
