CMYSA believes local soccer organizations play a fundamental role in the on-going evolution of soccer in the United States. We work to provide quality programs and resources that move motivated players along in their development (technical, tactical, physical, and psychological). CMYSA also understands children participate in youth soccer for a variety of reasons and we have a duty to the community to offer programs that encourage, excite, and energize every player, regardless of ability.

The most important aspect of youth sports is the opportunity to teach important life-lessons learned through teamwork, effort, responsibility, and commitment. CMYSA understands children learn from, and are influenced by, the adults involved in our organization. We demand the highest standard of behavior from every board member, director, staff member, coach, and volunteer. An emphasis on parent and fan behavior is also important. We all must model patience, sportsmanship, and civility for our children.

In order to accomplish our mission and philosophy, the club has placed emphasis on the following:

• Long term development of all players
• Providing both recreational and competitive levels of training and games to fulfill the needs of every player despite their position on the player-development continuum.
• Conducting age appropriate training sessions during the course of the year (including winter) directed by licensed coaches and quality college players
• Offering a year round program for both fall and spring players
• Encouraging our coaches to further their soccer education
• Provide coach, player, and parent Codes of Conduct to foster a positive experience for all
