Why SYAA?

SYAA understands the importance of quality time, that’s why we’re proud to be the only club in Tidewater where you can play 3 youth sports in one location. This allows our families to spend less time driving from place to place, and more time on the field.

We’re focused on giving every child a chance to play, learn, and experience the joys of a team sport. We make sure to stay up-to-date on new practices, regularly sending our coaches to nationally approved courses. We’re also all-volunteer operated and welcome parent involvement in running our programs.

Started in 1981, SYAA has been providing sports and athletic programs for 40 years. With almost 1,800 registered players, certified coaches and referees, and a focus on sportsmanship, SYAA is a true community institution.

SYAA is proud to be 100% volunteer run - parents, families, alums, and local businesses are directly responsible for every kid’s experience, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We rely on our members to run the programs and maintain the facilities.  Those that can are encouraged to participate and assist the volunteer committees.

Want to get more involved? If you have the time, we have a role.

Help with the concession stand, referee games, maintain fields and equipment, serve on our board, maintain websites and much more.

Contact us directly and we’ll find the best fit for your time commitment and talents!

“We switched from BCLL and while the commute was significantly longer, it was well worth it. Games weren’t cancelled often due to "possible" bad weather. Our Coach Ricky was great. The kids got a trophy at the end which was included with our initial dues. And we only had to cover concession once. Thank you so much for a great season!” ~ Hanna Bennett

“Great Organization! Very organized and the commissioners and coaches are top notch.  We’ve definitely made some lasting friendships through the organization and our daughter loves playing soccer with SYAA.” ~ Mari Burrell
