Playground/Schoolyard

AYSO Playground and Schoolyard are pre-soccer, adventure/exploration programs for three and four-year-olds introducing fundamental motor skills in collaboration with parents & guardians, using soccer as a common thread.

There are no traditional teams or practices in Playground or Schoolyard. 

In Playground, players participate in fun activities under the instruction of our First Touch Soccer coaches with the assistance of a parent.  Children learn soccer skills like kicking, dribbling, and throwing in the ball, but in a low-pressure setting. Parent participation is a must.

In Schoolyard, there is greater emphasis on playing in game situations. Young players need to get a feel for the ball and the field, so even though there are adults all around and many opportunities to offer instruction, the emphasis is on fun and play. 

Please note, there are no mid-week practices in Playground or Schoolyard, only Saturday sessions.

Volunteers Needed

PLEASE NOTE: OUR PROGRAM IS RUN COMPLETELY BY VOLUNTEERS. It is because of volunteers that our children are able to play, so please consider offering up your time to volunteer. Free training is provided! If you are interested in serving as a head coach, assistant coach, referee, team manager, or board member, please register to volunteer. If you have any questions about any of the positions, please contact [email protected] and we would be happy to provide you with more information.
  • A coach can request an assistant coach but both must list each other on the volunteer interest form, then complete the volunteer application and background check in Sports Connect. You must also receive proper certification/training for that age group.
