AYSO Region 8018 is an all-volunteer organization providing spring and fall soccer programs for elementary through high school kids in the Sparkman, Harvest and Toney, Alabama areas. Participation is open to all. AYSO is a nationwide non-profit organization that develops and delivers quality youth soccer programs in a fun, family environment based on AYSO's Six Philosophies:
Open Registration (we do not hold tryouts - anyone who wants to can play!)
Everyone Plays (we want all players to equally participate in our games)
Balanced Teams (we believe the best competition occurs between teams that are even in terms of player experience and ability)
Positive Coaching (coaches are here to teach, develop skills and encourage!)
Good Sportsmanship (win or lose, playing the game fairly is the most important thing!)
Player Development (a commitment to developing each player's soccer abilities)
AYSO is child focused and puts the players first. We are a soccer organization with happy, healthy kids as our passion. Every decision, every rule and every program has "what's good for kids" as its basis. Every girl and boy stepping on a soccer field for the first time can have fun. AYSO's child-first approach also makes it one of the finest player development programs.
