Since 1991, the Very Important Player (VIP) program has provided a quality soccer experience for individuals whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult for them to participate on mainstream soccer teams. AYSO stayed true to the principle of Everyone Plays®, uniting players of all backgrounds with the guarantee that they will all play the beautiful game of soccer. The VIP program’s inception has given a home to thousands of unsung very important players, creating invaluable memories and stories to share.

AYSO is proud to offer a very special program for developmentally disabled children and adults. Our VIP (Very Important Player) program provides a safe, fun environment with trained coaches, VIP Buddies, and volunteers who facilitate an enriching experience that the players and their families will cherish forever.

1. What is AYSO VIP? The mission of the AYSO VIP Program is to provide a quality soccer experience for individuals whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult for them to successfully participate on mainstream soccer teams. Successful participation is defined by the player’s enjoyment and the safety of all team members. ''

2. What is a VIP Buddy? VIP Buddies assist during the games in which players learn soccer while meeting new friends, having fun and increasing skills and self-esteem. Players and their families, along with our volunteers, enjoy the complete AYSO experience scoring goals, cheering from the sidelines, and beyond! The vision of the AYSO VIP Program is to create teams in every AYSO Region to maximize opportunities for VIP player participation.
