In a given year, WAYSA is comprised of between 8 to 14 towns and clubs with between 90 to 110 teams playing every fall season. We have the teams playing in U10B&G , U12B&G, U14B&G, HSG (U16/U18), and O30Coed. We finish each season with a U10/U12 Friendship Tournament and single elimination playoffs for U14-U18. To learn more about WAYSA, go to About WAYSA.
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.
- League develops U10 and U8 referees through in-house unlicensed training and paid games. League reimburses referee's course license fees (eligible for those refs in highschool only). League sponsored referee training.
- Providing non-varsity players an opportunity to continue to enjoy their youth sport with HSGirls and HSBoys (available when 6 or more teams can be formed). Also for the parents of players and coaches, an O30 Coed league.
League play starts Saturday, September 12th, 2009
