What is Soccer?

Soccer is a simple game. All you need is a field, a ball, two teams with the proper equipment and a referee.

The field is approximately the size of a football field for older players and smaller for the younger players.

The game is played in two, timed halves of equal duration. To advance AYSO's "Everyone Plays" commitment, quarter breaks are made within each half to allow for player substitution. The duration of each half is determined by the age of the children playing - longer for older players and shorter for younger players.

Any kid of any size can become a skilled and successful soccer player as physical size is not an important factor. And the best part for them is that due to the nature of the game, every kid gets a chance to participate in the action!
