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. 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 most 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.
