The American Youth Soccer Organization is proud to announce that Region 1242 is currently being restructured and will commence operations shortly. The new Greater Ocala AYSO or GO AYSO! will mark the return of the United States best developmental soccer program to the greater Ocala area.
Since 1964, AYSO has led the way in youth sports. AYSO was the 1st youth sports organization to mandate that every child must play in every game and with the AYSO Kids Zone program, every child is ensured a positive environment to play soccer. 

AYSO is developmental youth soccer and only AYSO puts the children first. AYSO is governed by the following five philosophies:


Everyone Plays- This is what AYSO is best known for. Every child, regardless of skill level or experience, must play a minimum of 1/2 of every game. This applies even in more advanced AYSO play (tournaments, all-stars and select programs also.)

Open Registration- Every child, regardless of where they live is welcome to register with AYSO.

Positive Coaching- AYSO only allows positive coaching. Players will not be yelled at or berated, and AYSO provides training to every coach. Even if you have no soccer experience, AYSO can help you learn the fundamentals of the game and coach.

Good Sportsmanship- AYSO does not promote a win-at-all-costs attitude, instead players are encouraged to be respectful of the game, their teammates and their opponents. Of course the object of any game is to win, but in AYSO winning and losing is far less important than learning how to play soccer.

Balanced Teams- In the developmental program, teams are created from scratch each season, with players balanced according to skill level. This encourages the children to grow as players and prevents "stacked" teams which discourage player growth at this level of play.

AYSO performs background checks on every volunteer. AYSO will train any parent/adult that wishes to coach, referee, be a board member or otherwise volunteer, provided their background check is clean.

Every volunteer accepted must complete the AYSO Safe Haven course which has been put in place to protect the children in the AYSO Soccer Program.
