On April 19, 2025, African Youth Sports Academy (AYSA) officially kicked off our spring soccer season—and what a day it was! Our fields in Tukwila and SeaTac came alive with the laughter and cheers of young players ready to learn, compete, and make new friends.

Why AYSA Soccer Stands Out in King County
At AYSA, we believe in more than just goals and game scores. Our program is built on three pillars:
- Skill Development
- Age-Appropriate Coaching: We divide players into three groups to match their developmental stage:
- Tiny Tots (2–5 years)
- Mini Champions (6–9 years)
- Junior All-Stars (10–14 years)
- Fundamental drills, footwork exercises, and small-group scrimmages ensure each child learns at their own pace.
- Age-Appropriate Coaching: We divide players into three groups to match their developmental stage:
- Character & Confidence
- Our certified coaches emphasize teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
- We foster a supportive environment where every pass, tackle, and high-five builds self-esteem.
- Community & Convenience
- Serving families across Seattle, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Burien, Des Moines, Auburn and Federal Way.
- Practices held at easily accessible locations in SeaTac—perfect for a quick drive after school.
Program Details & Schedule
- Season Duration: April 19 – August 31, 2025
- Every Friday & Saturday from 4pm – 8pm
- Equipment: Kids should wear shin guards, cleats (optional), and bring a water bottle.
- Tuition: Competitive rates with sibling discounts and financial assistance available—no child turned away for lack of funds.
Benefits of Early Soccer Involvement
Participating in youth soccer at AYSA offers more than just exercise:
- Physical Health: Improves cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and agility.
- Social Skills: Builds friendships across diverse communities—perfect for families new to South King County.
- Academic Edge: Team sports have been linked to better focus and time-management skills in school.
