EnglishWhat is Florida Youth Soccer (fysa.com)?
Updated
fysa.com is the website of the Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA), the state governing body for youth soccer in Florida. It is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization founded in 1974, and it provides membership to clubs, leagues, players, and coaches. If you are a Florida family looking for a club, a coach seeking education, or a team interested in state competition, FYSA is the organization to start with.
Who FYSA is and who it serves
FYSA is governed by a board of directors elected by representatives from its member associations, and it maintains a state office in Auburndale, FL with a professional staff. According to the organization, its membership consists of:
- 200+ clubs and leagues
- 105,000+ registered players
- 20,000+ coaches and officials
FYSA is also part of a larger soccer structure: it is a member of the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA), the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and FIFA.
Main programs and services
The homepage highlights four core areas:
