Recreation
TYSA has one of the largest recreational youth
soccer organizations in the state. From ages 3-18,
both boys and girls participate in the most popular
sport in the world! In our Tiny Tykes group (ages
3-4), boys and girls learn to enjoy the game, while
learning some soccer "basics" with some modified
rules to make the game more enjoyable and accessible
for this age group. From our under 6 group through
the under 19 group, the boys and girls
separate into different leagues within TYSA, as the
rules become much closer to how the pros play!
Our TOPSoccer is for mental or physical impaired soccer players between the ages of 6 to 18. Our goal is to bring the opportunity of learning, playing soccer to any boy or girl who has a mental or physical disability. Click here for more information on our TOPSoccer Program.
Our Academy program is open to all players from
ages 8 – 11 (as of August 1 in the fall of the year
they are playing); who wish to be challenged a
bit more and can benefit from our certified coaching
staff; click

Program.
Our select program is for players from ages 12-18
(as of August 1 in the fall of the year they are
playing); this is the most competitive level in
TYSA soccer, where our best square off against other
leagues within the state! Click

Program.
