What is the AYSO Playground program?

Our American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) Playground program introduces 3- and 4-year olds to soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment.  Playground uses group activities, soccer themes, and parent participation to develop the fundamental motor skills that prepare kids for all sports.

Players participate on a weekly basis with their Parent (or other adult) working with them on the field.  The Playground season is comprised of five weekly Saturday sessions lead by a “Master Coach” with the assistance of other volunteer coaches.  Each session lasts approximately 1 hour. There are no weekday practices.  At each session the Master Coach will introduce fun soccer-themed activities to develop one or two particular skills.  Each Player and Parent will then attempt the activity while the coaches circulate among the Players and Parents, providing help and guidance as needed. 

AT THIS AGE GROUP, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SMALL-SIDED SOCCER GAMES.  THE FOCUS WILL BE ON MOTOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND FUN ACTIVITIES, WITH NO KICKING OF THE SOCCER BALL (PER NATIONAL AYSO GUIDELINES).
