Capay Valley American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is dedicated to providing a SAFE, FAIR, and FUN environment for children to learn the game of soccer.  CV AYSO provides a positive athletic experience for the children.  “IT’S FOR THE KIDS!” is an important motto of AYSO. The six AYSO Philosophies are: 

• EVERYONE PLAYS
• BALANCED TEAMS
• OPEN REGISTRATION
• POSITIVE COACHING
• GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
• PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Capay Valley AYSO is committed to implementing all of the 6 AYSO philosophies, especially the philosophy of balanced teams. This means that each team will have an equal opportunity to compete and be successful. Teams are equalized based on age, skill level, ratings (from last year’s coaches), and experience of the player. Accordingly, one CV AYSO goal is to evenly distribute parent involvement among the teams at each given level. Each team will have a balance of the various player skill levels. Stacked and hand-picked teams are not allowed during the regular Fall Season. The ultimate goal is for each child to have fun while developing enthusiasm for the game of soccer and an understanding of the thrill of the game!
