What is VIP soccer?

VIP Soccer began in 1991 for very important players: Children with physical or mental challenges or a combination of both. AYSO’s philosophy of "Everyone Plays" was thus extended to be inclusive of all children who had the desire to play soccer.

VIP VISION STATEMENT: What would we like to see?

The vision of the AYSO VIP Program is to create VIP teams in every AYSO region wherever possible, and to maximize opportunities for VIP player participation where VIP teams are not available.

HOW A VIP PROGRAM WORKS

VIP players sign up at the same registrations, play on the same fields, wear the same uniforms, and enjoy all the other benefits afforded every AYSO player. While all special needs children possible should be placed on existing regional teams, VIP teams are created for the children whose challenges would prevent them from experiencing success in the regular program. These VIP players are integrated into the region through the assistance and encouragement of "buddies" from other teams. Their needs are monitored closely by coaches, referees, parents – present at every game – and the VIP Director who oversees the program, thereby ensuring safety and fun for all.Teams are all coed and there are three age groups:5 to 7 year olds – 8 to 11 year olds – 12 to 18 year olds
