Soccer is a team sport, with rules like many other sports in American society. Learning how to play soccer according to the rules is but a small portion of what the AYSA is all about. Coaches can only teach so much. The other portion of your child’s learning and teamwork development comes from you. Sports, at this age group, are meant to be a family learning experience. The lessons learned are to be used as your child grows, just as any lesson of value you teach outside of sports. The purpose of Ashwaubenon Youth Soccer (AYSA) is to develop and encourage sportsmanship among its members and players for the betterment of their physical and social well being. We like to add-and have a lot of fun! AYSA exists to encourage sportsmanship. This is where you, the parent, must take the initiative and help us achieve our goal for your child. The AYSA knows you want to teach the most valuable lessons a parent can inspire within your child.

AYSA is affiliated with, and operated as a district member of the Soccer Association for Youth, USA (SAY), an Ohio corporation, and is governed by and complies with the principles, rules, and regulations decreed by the SAY. The SAY area governing board is:Bay-Lakes Soccer Association for Youth P.O.
