RECREATIONAL SOCCER

About Rec soccer with SYSA

With over 12,500 players in Seattle and Shoreline each fall, SYSA offers the largest and most diverse youth soccer experience in the Northwest. Our twelve neighborhood clubs provide rich player opportunities for players at all levels. SYSA soccer programs are affordable, well-organized, and fun for all kids! Scholarships are often available for any families that are in need through our member neighborhood clubs.

Our youth soccer players begin at age 5, and can continue playing up until age 18. There are opportunities for all players, both experienced and those new to the sport. Other benefits include:

• Extremely affordable recreational play that serves players from the youngest ages through high school

• Player-skills training and coach education through the neighborhood clubs.

• Citywide play providing more diverse and level-appropriate competition for ages 10-18

• Fall league, season-ending city tournament, and optional spring play program

• Longstanding relationships for field access through parks and schools in Seattle and Shoreline

• Expanded Boundaries for U17-U19 teams to play in Inter-tie league with other clubs within the Lake Washington area.

• Additional training programs, camps and academies for recreational players and coaches furnished by Seattle United, the advanced-development club for SYSA

• Local play for all! Your neighborhood club will provide “In-House” Neighborhood league play from U5/6 up to U9, from there U10-U16 teams will play in our Association “Citywide” leagues before graduating to the New “League Washington” at U17-U19.

• 50+ years of knowledge and experience in delivering well-organized soccer programs through a largely volunteer organization and locally focused, neighborhood-based clubs.
