***********************************************************************
WHO WE ARE: VYS is a recreational soccer league for youth (ages 4 to 18) in the
Spokane Valley and nearby communities. Our league is run by dedicated VOLUNTEERS.
VYS is a true "NON-PROFIT" organization. We have NO "paid staff" or "paid coaches".
Our focus is totally on the needs of the children and providing a fun, enjoyable, and
AFFORDABLE sport for them. A better soccer program... more soccer and less cost.
Compare us and see how we are different from the others:
1) COST !
More soccer, more games, less money! Our cost are much less than other programs in the
area. How do we do it? We use VOLUNTEERS to handle administrative duties and we
have the support of local businesses to help keep cost down. We are the ONLY local
soccer organization in the Spokane area to operate this way. Other local soccer groups are
staffed by PAID office, PAID administrative staff, and PAID field maintenance. They also
pay fees to state and national organizations, adding additional administrative costs. We
don't believe your kids need or benefit by paying more.
2) MORE PLAYING TIME
We offer MORE games and MORE playing time for your child
than any other program. This is VERY important because the "secret" to becoming better
at playing any sport (and especially soccer) is playing time. Every major soccer organization
says "the game is the best teacher". PLAYING is how you learn.
3) FLEXIBILITY
We offer programs with flexibility to meet your child's needs. Rather than follow rigid,
inflexible rules... we do what is best for your child and the whole program. Examples include
allowing inexperienced players to play at their level rather than forcing age rules. We also
allow teams to continue year to year.
4) COACHING
We have experienced and nationally certified coaches that VOLUNTEER
their time to help train your child's coach because they ENJOY soccer and working with
kids. We have FREE training clinics to help our coaches expand their knowledge. Club staff
are available to help coaches with their teams.
5) INSURANCE
Covers ALL soccer related activities within our organization (including our summer camps).
Help us by getting involved as a coach, volunteer, or team sponsor !
See the "My Site News" section for the latest events and news items.
Forms for all events are located under the "handout" tab.

schools. Most games are currently at Trent Elementary (3303 N. Pines) or

Teams and their practices are normally centered close to their
local schools. Practices for the younger ages (4 to 8) are normally
one evening a week for about an hour. Older ages (9 and up) may
practice twice a week. Practice locations are determined by the coach,
with input from the team to find times that are convenient for everyone.
Items needed by each child include:
1) SHIN GUARDS
2) SOCKS (to cover the shin guards)
3) SOCCER SHORTS (black or neutral color recommended)
4) SOCCER BALL:

size #4 ages 8 - 11 (U9-U12),
size #5 for 12 and older (U13 +)
