The Montoursville Region 690, of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), has added an adapted soccer program for players with disabilities called VIP – (Very Important Player) Program.

Starting this fall, players four years and older who have a disability that would make it difficult for them to play successfully on a mainstream team will have an opportunity to play soccer at their own level. There is no upper age limit. Teams will be formed based on size, ability levels, and age.

The VIP teams are not limited to ambulatory players. Players using wheelchairs, walkers, and other assistive devices are welcome to register. AYSO has always operated with the philosophy “Everyone Plays®,” meaning every player must play at least half of every game. The VIP program expands that philosophy to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to play soccer.

Practices and games will be held back-to-back, each session including learning soccer skills followed by a soccer game. Sessions begin Saturday 8/1/2018 at 2:30 p.m. at Mill Street, Montoursville. For more information, contact Kim Tucker 570-506-0353 or Coral Orso-Bloom (570)360-6283. Visit our website at http://www.ayso690.org and get your child registered today!
