Vienna Youth Soccer, Inc., was established in the fall of 1974.  Since its inception, VYS has continued to grow and prosper with a current enrollment of approximately 3,000 players each season.  VYS sponsors two separate youth soccer programs:  Recreation (House) League and Travel.

 

The VYS House League is one in which players of all skill levels are allowed to play.  House league players play only against other House league teams within their age group.

 

The Travel League(s) is one in which a tryout is required to make a team.  Travel players are typically more skilled and competitive.   Travel teams compete against other travel teams in three different leagues:  WAGS (for girls), NCSL (for boys), and ODSL (for girls and boys). 

Vienna Youth Soccer (VYS) expects and requires all members, players, officials, employees, suppliers, contractors, spectators, and others participating in VYS activities to behave responsibly, courteously, and respectfully at all times.  VYS is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing the greater Vienna community with a wide range of opportunities to learn about and play soccer, and have fun.  In cooperation with the Fairfax County Parks Authority, Fairfax County Schools, and others, VYS provides a safe and supportive environment to learn sportsmanship and teamwork by playing soccer.  These objectives cannot be met unless all of those involved adhere to the highest level of conduct.  Poor sportsmanship, and disrespectful or irresponsible behavior will not be tolerated at any time.

 

The VYS Code of Conduct is intended to help everyone be aware of the types of  behavior that are expected.  They are not substitutes for clear thinking.  They do not necessarily address all situations.  Everyone must exercise sound judgment in deciding how to handle different situations.  Remember, the objectives are:  Treating others as you would like to be treated and providing a safe environment for the players to have fun and to learn soccer skills and good sportsmanship.
