LEAGUE PHILOSOPHY

soccer0a.gif
   Chico Youth Soccer League (CYSL) was founded in 1973 with 254 boys and girls participating. CYSL now offers a Spring and Fall Season and has over 2000 youth, ages   5-13, participating in the Spring and Fall programs. CYSL is for boys and girls in the U6 - 14&U age divisions.

   CYSL'S policy is to encourage the RECREATIONAL and PARTICIPITORY aspects of the game. We recognize there will always be competition in any activity in which a score is kept, however, CYSL's first principle is that RECREATION and PARTICIPATION come first.

   CYSL's motto is that "EVERYBODY PLAYS". There are no tryouts. Everyone who signs up, on time, makes the team. No player on a team is to sit out more than half of every game. Coaches are pledged to this policy and the Board of Directors will enforce it. Most important of all, the League encourages a spirit of unpressured and congenial good sportsmanship among players, coaches and parents. An excellent guide for parents put together in England can be found at http://www.thefa.com/Respectguide/ -- go to the links page and click on Respect Guide. Another great short clip can be also found on the links page under "Ray calls for Respect".

The Coaches Manual includes general information about the league in the form of questions most frequently asked, league rules, policies, procedures and our players code of conduct.
