About VYS House
The VYS U5-U19 House League is our volunteer-based recreational program. House soccer offers an introductory, fun playing environment for players of all skill levels between the ages of 4-18 years old. The House League is an 8-week program where players will compete in a team-based environment.
Availability depends on location, age group and gender. Waitlist registrants can increase their chances of being placed by indicating their willingness to help coach their child’s team.
