KYSA MISSION STATEMENT

KYSA shall support soccer players, coaches, referees and volunteers by providing appropriate programs and opportunities to help the individual achieve their potential, while employing the principals of ‘Fair Play’.

The goals of KYSA are to create and foster a positive and fun filled environment for players, coaches, officials and parents, to strive for the highest standard of skill and sportsmanship, to develop and train referees for all levels of competition and to provide a program for both the novice an select level players.

HOUSE SOCCER PHILOSOPHY

• All players should have equal playing time

• All players should have the opportunity to play all positions

• All players should be able to develop and maintain self-esteem

• All players should be able to develop playing skills and teamwork

• All players should be provided with a supportive, non-critical environment

AGE DIVISIONS

Depending on registrations, age groups may be combined to provide enough teams in each division.  The Board with the guidance of the Head Coach will strive to keep divisions and teams fair for all players.

EQUIPMENT

• Players must wear shin guards and soccer shoes in all games – NO EXCEPTIONS.  Do not put referees in the position of not allowing your child to play because they are not outfitted properly.
• Team jerseys are provided by the generous sponsorships of local businesses.  Be sure your child has his/her team jersey at every game.
• Players are NOT allowed to alter their team jersey in any way.  This means rolling up the sleeves and tying the shirt in the back.
• Any jersey belonging to KYSA not returned at the end of the season will incur a $50 charge payable by the parent/guardian on the player.

PHOTO DAY

Photo Day will take place in May/June.  Divisional Managers will provide parents/guardians will information on team and individual photos.  Please ensure your player(s) arrive on time and are dressed in full uniform.
