AYSO Mid-Willamette Valley Region 870 is part of the American Youth Soccer Organization, which has been providing a world-class youth soccer program for more than fifty years. AYSO’s Mission Statement is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO’s Six Philosophies: Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, Player Development. AYSO’s Vision is to provide world class youth soccer programs that enrich children’s lives. Every player on every team must play at least 50 percent of every game, and each year AYSO forms new teams as evenly balanced as possible. The program is open to all children who want to register and play soccer; there are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut. AYSO has the complete Player Development Pathway, which allows anyone, from toddler to adult to those with developmental disabilities to play. AYSO is built on the power of volunteer support and brings together community members to coach, referee and support their local Regions. AYSO’s Six Philosophies are Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.
