McLean Youth Soccer: Building a Stronger Community through Sports
McLean Youth Soccer (MYS) is a non-profit organization that has been providing quality soccer programs to the youth of McLean, Virginia for over 40 years. With a mission to develop young athletes into responsible and productive members of society, MYS offers a range of programs that cater to players of all ages and skill levels.
Located in the heart of Fairfax County, just 30 minutes away from Washington D.C., McLean is home to approximately 40,000 people. The town boasts excellent schools, parks, and recreational facilities that make it an ideal place for families with children. And with MYS at the forefront of youth sports in the area, parents can rest assured that their kids are getting top-notch training and development opportunities.
At MYS, we believe that soccer is more than just a game – it's an opportunity for kids to learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, discipline, and perseverance. Our programs are designed not only to help players improve their technical abilities but also to instill in them important values such as respect for others and fair play.
One thing that sets MYS apart from other youth sports organizations is our commitment to fiscal discipline. We understand how hard families work to provide their children with opportunities like ours; therefore we strive always to keep our fees affordable while still maintaining high-quality programming.
Our Board of Directors comprises highly experienced professionals who bring diverse backgrounds and expertise in areas such as finance, law enforcement, education among others. They work tirelessly behind the scenes ensuring everything runs smoothly so coaches can focus on what they do best - coaching!
Our coaching staff consists mainly of volunteers who have undergone rigorous training by professional coaches certified by US Soccer Federation or United Soccer Coaches Association (formerly NSCAA). These volunteers give countless hours each week teaching young athletes how to play soccer while also imparting valuable life lessons along the way.
