VIP teams may include:

Blind or visually impaired Amputees or with conditions that impair mobility Mentally or emotionally challenged

Autistic Down syndrome Cerebral Palsy

Our VIP program will be held during our regular fall season.

VIP helps more than just the players. Buddies and other volunteers increase their appreciation and understanding of individuals with special needs. They find their lives greatly enriched by their involvement with their new VIP friends.

For parents thinking they would never see their children playing a sport or making new friends, VIP gives them joy and hope. They are able to relax and enjoy watching their children having fun like other kids, perhaps for the first time. 

Subject:  Region 56 announces VIP - SPECIAL NEEDS SOCCER

Region 56 is very excited to announce we are starting a VIP division this upcoming fall.

The AYSO Very Important Player (VIP) Program provides a quality soccer experience for children and adults whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream teams. All VIP Players have the opportunity to play a minimum of one-half of each game.  

Our VIP program will be held during our regular fall season.

Help us get the word out!
