- Competitive training and playing environment at all ages.
- Elimination of parental agendas from the development process.
- Application of appropriate year-round programs (indoor, futsal, camps, clinics, etc.).
It is the objective of the AYSO ALLIANCE program is to create the right environment for all levels of soccer, including the elite player, enabling each player to reach their own true potential.
Goals and Objectives will be accomplished by utilizing and respecting the AYSO philosophies:
EVERYONE PLAYS
The program mandates that every player in the program play a minimum of half of every league or tournament game.
POSITIVE COACHING
The coaching program will be enhanced because of the skills of the AYSO ALLIANCE coaches. Accordingly, AYSO ALLIANCE coaches, as representatives of AYSO will be held to a higher standard of positive coaching and good sportsmanship than regular Primary Program coaches.
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
AYSO ALLIANCE Coaches, Players, and Volunteers/Parents will be representing AYSO in a competitive venue; consequently, the program expects and will enforce a higher standard of conduct and behaviors for all participants.
OPEN REGISTRATION
All eligible players (as defined below) will be given proper notice and opportunity to try out for an AYSO ALLIANCE team.
BALANCED TEAMS
Teams will be picked by the AYSO ALLIANCE Team Coach/es. How the teams perform within the non-AYSO gaming circuit will be the only true form of balancing, i.e., divisional success based on participating with players of a similar level playing in the same division.
If multiple teams exist within an ALLIANCE for the same age/gender:
- There may be multiple teams in certain age groups and this may include “A/B/C” team formations, which could be labeled ALLIANCE Blue, Red or White. Each coach will pick the best team they can. How the teams perform and ultimately, the level at which they play, will depend on the talent of the players and the coaching they receive.
