Mission Statement
The AYSO VIP Program provides a quality soccer experience for children whose physical or mental challenges make it difficult for them to successfully participate on regular AYSO soccer teams.
Description
The VIP Soccer began in 1991 for Very Important Players: Children with physical or mental challenges, or a combination of both. AYSO's philosophy of "Everyone Plays" was thus extended to be inclusive of all children who had the desire to play soccer. Our program has made this possible. We allow any child with any disability have the chance to play soccer and be a part of a team. They play along side the regular teams and have the same opportunities as they do. It is open to anyone, ages 5 and up. They receive a full uniform, insurance and a participation award. Currently our registration fee is $20.00 per player. But fees might vary depending on where a program exists. No child is denied the chance to play.
