WAYSA offers youth programs and affiliates with nearby leagues to provide U10-U18 and O30 recreational and developmental soccer experience in the Fall season.
WAYSA is focused on recreational play and has structured its activities in support of player and referee development by:
- All teams are formed by a town/club open enrollment and random team placement. There are no skill divisions in the league. All teams are expected to be balanced, rather than stacked.
- Each team should strive for each player to play at least 50% or more of a game.
- U10 are 7v7 and U12 are 8v8 to maximize player touches with the ball.
- U10 and U12 games are not tracked for win/loss. The end of season U10 and U12 tournament is to expose teams to other divisional teams.
- League is fair minded to ensure players can play with team roster size waivers, playing down waivers, and combining fractional club teams into a whole team.
- League has a Coaches code of conduct, recommended reading for Parents code of conduct, and is responsive to address incidents as they first occur.
- Providing non-varsity players an opportunity to continue to enjoy their youth sport with HSGirls and HSBoys. Also for the parents of players and coaches, an O30 Coed league.
