About AYSO Soccer and Twinsburg Region 1026:
AYSO was founded in Torrence, California and has been the leader in
establishing ground breaking youth soccer programs in the United
States since 1964. Today AYSO consists of more than 750 regions and
60,000 teams worldwide. There are over 660,000 players ranging from
4 ? to 18 years of age; and more than 250,000 volunteers donating
their time as coaches, referees, team parents, and administrators
support AYSO.
It was the dream of a group of local devoted soccer enthusiasts who
started the Twinsburg Youth Soccer Organization. The program was
established in 1993 with 80 players as apart of the the Twinsburg
Parks and Recreation Department. Today, the Twinsburg AYSO Region
#1026 Soccer program has more than 60 teams and 800 players in the
fall session, alone.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide quality youth soccer programs where
everyone builds positive character through participation in a fun,
family-oriented soccer environment. AYSO's five philosophies
separate us from the pack:
- Everyone Plays: Our
Program's goal is for kids to play soccer. We mandate that every
play on every team must play at least half of every game.
- Balanced Teams: Each year
we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it is
fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.
- Open Registration: Our
program is open to all children between 4 1/2 and 18 years of
age who want to play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the
only criteria for playing.
- Positive Coaching:
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by
the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and
better-motivated players.
- Good Sportsmanship: We
strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect
rather than a win-at-all costs attitude. Our program is designed
to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
