- United States Youth Soccer Association
The US Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer or USYSA) is the youth affiliate and largest member of the United States Soccer Federation, the governing body for soccer in the United States. US Youth Soccer includes 55 state youth soccer associations, one per state except for California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, which each have two state associations. Over 3,000,000 youth players between ages 5-19 are registered with USYSA.
US Youth Soccer is a non-profit organization whose stated mission is to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of America's youth through soccer at all levels of age and competition; to make soccer fun; and to instill in young players a lifelong passion for the sport.
USYSA was founded in 1974 with approximately 100,000 registered players.
The US Youth Soccer membership is divided into four regions, each with a Director elected to the board. The regions are essentially East (Region I), Midwest (Region II), South (Region III) and West (Region IV). Each State Association has a Board of Directors, elected by delegates from their member leagues, clubs or teams.
