Welcome to the 2026 Fall Season with Goshen Youth Soccer Association! ❤️⚽
Whether this is your family’s very first season or you’ve been with us for years, we’re so excited to have you on the fields!
At GYSA, our mission has always been bigger than wins and losses. We strive to provide a safe, affordable, positive, and development-focused environment where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and fall in love with the game of soccer.
Our goal isn’t just to develop better soccer players—it’s to build confident kids, supportive families, and a stronger Goshen community. Every smile, new friendship, act of sportsmanship, and player who can’t wait to come back next week is a success in our book.
As we kick off the season, here’s what we ask of everyone:
❤️ Players – Work hard, have fun, respect others, support your teammates, and always give your best effort.
⚽ Parents – Cheer loudly, encourage positively, let coaches coach and referees officiate, respect our volunteers, and remember that your child is watching how you respond.
🙌 Coaches – Create a safe, positive learning environment where every player has the opportunity to grow and develop a love for the game.
🦺 Referees – Many of our officials are learning too. Please remember to Respect the Ref. Without referees, there are no games.

A few reminders:
✅ Arrive prepared with shin guards, soccer socks, water, and a positive attitude.
✅ Please remember our Zero Tolerance Policy. We expect respect and sportsmanship from everyone on and around the field.
✅ Safety always comes first. Weather and field conditions may impact schedules.
✅ Families can earn a $25 registration refund by volunteering for a concession stand shift. Thank you for helping make GYSA possible!
💬 And one final thought…
After the game, instead of asking “Did you win?” try asking:
• “Did you have fun?”
• “What did you learn?”
• “What was your favorite moment?”
Those conversations help build a lifelong love of sports.
GYSA is powered entirely by volunteers, and we’re incredibly grateful to every coach, referee, board member, team parent, and family who gives their time to make this season possible.
Here’s to an amazing Fall 2026 season filled with growth, friendships, teamwork, and lots of soccer!
❤️⚽ GO WARRIORS! ⚽❤️
