Welcome to Nacogdoches Youth Soccer Association's new home!!
COACHING A TEAM
You do not need coaching or soccer experience to coach! Coaches pick their own practice schedules. NYSA will have a coaches' clinic and coaches meeting before the season starts. There are no additional fees or out of pocket costs for coaches. Multiple parents from the same team can work together and coach as well. Often aunts, uncles, cousins or older siblings volunteer to coach. All volunteers must pass a background check. Background check looks for sex offenders and domestic abuse. You will find coaching is a rewarding experience. Please consider volunteering. If you are interested in coaching a team, please contact visit the Coach Registration link above.
TEAM FORMATION
Team placement is based on age. (U means "under") We cannot guarantee placement on any particular team. U5-U12 run separate boys and girls teams. U13/U14/U15 and U16/U17 are combined co-ed teams.
In the Fall season, all players change age groups. For example, players with the same birth year and on the same team stay together but move to the next age group bracket. Coaches move age groups with their son or daughter. Players on teams without a coach will be redrafted. Players who wish to change teams next season can request to be redrafted. All registered players will receive a new soccer jersey in the fall season. Players on teams without a coach will be redrafted in the spring season.
The Spring season is basically a continuation of the Fall season. Returning players and teams stay together in the same age group. New players will be placed on existing or new team. Returning players will continue to wear their Fall jerseys.
Players and coaches please have a conversation about who is returning from the prior season. Parents do not assume that your coach will be coaching this season.
