AYSO Region 263 Serving South Knoxville, TN

 

Everyone Plays: Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50% of every game

Balanced Teams: Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it's more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play.

Open Registration: Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.

Positive Coaching: A coach can be one of the most influential people in a child's life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience for every boy and girl.

Good Sportsmanship & Player Development: We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude.  We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
