SOCCER STARTS HERE
A ball is all you need, but pay-to-play culture has put sports out of reach for too many children. Millions of players began their journey with AYSO. Some reached World Cups and Olympic podiums. Many more started families, built careers, and became leaders in their communities. Your gift starts the next journey.

FAQ
How does my donation create impact?
Your gift doesn’t just fund a season, it fuels a network of 50,000+ volunteers who make that season possible. AYSO is powered by parents who coach, referee, and lead for free. Every dollar you give is multiplied by their donated time, turning a modest gift into a full season of soccer for a child who couldn’t otherwise afford to play.
Where does my gift go?
The PLAYSOCCER Fund is unrestricted; your gift doesn’t go toward one single thing. It goes into a pool. AYSO deploys wherever the need is greatest: keeping registration costs low, training volunteers, equipping new teams, and growing into communities that don’t have access yet. The amounts you see aren’t line items; they’re a sense of scale, a reminder that even a modest gift, multiplied by AYSO’s volunteer network, adds up to real change for real kids.
Is AYSO a nonprofit?
Yes. The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Founded in 1964, AYSO was built to help children experience the life lessons of “the beautiful game” by keeping soccer accessible to everyone. Our mission — Everyone Plays — means no child is left on the sidelines, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. For 60 years, that mission has been carried forward by thousands of volunteer parents and donors like you.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. The American Youth Soccer Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your gift to the PLAYSOCCER Fund is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. We’ll email you an official donation receipt upon completion of your gift — please keep it for your tax records.
