League Play Regulations
Per Alabama Youth Soccer Association (AYSA) Rules and Regulations, a player may only register and play for one club during their commitment period. The term of this commitment is one seasonal year (Fall and Spring) for Divisions I and II, and season to season (Fall or Spring) for Divisions III and IV. Thus, if you sign your child in another league your child will be ineligible to play in EYSA.

All Head Coaches must have background checks with AYSA; you must provide Tiffany Webb a copy of your drivers license, sign the waiver form, and complete the concussion awareness certificate.

State law states all head coaches in all sports must have this concussion awareness certificate. It is online at http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/Training/HeadsUpConcussion.html

The waiver can be down loaded by CLICKING HERE

Once you have all three items please email them to Tiffany Webb at tiffndylan4@bellsouth.net. We cannot add you to the roster until these 3 items are received.

EYSA IS NOW 501(c)(3)

It was kind of surprising that when EYSA was founded in 1972 the founders, while in the Articles, did not file the 501(c)(3) paperwork. However, over the past few years, past and present board members have worked diligently and we can now say EYSA is a 501(c)(3) organization. EYSA would like to thank all the individuals that helped get this done.

In Memory of Billy Martin
(Father of Bill Martin, our DOC)

Billy Martin, who was one of the great coaches in EYSA, Gadsden, and the state of Alabama history passed away. He dedicated the past 25 years of his life to coaching, mentoring, and promoting the game of soccer to our youth of Etowah County. He coached kids of all age groups, boys, girls, high school, competitive, and recreational levels. He loved the game of soccer but mostly importantly he loved the kids.

However, even with Billy’s passing he will continue to give to the children of Etowah County. The Martin family has set up a Soccer Scholarship fund in Billy’s name. Please send your donation to:

Keystone Bank
Attn: Billy Martin Scholarship Fund
244 S 3rd Street
Gadsden, AL 35901

Our prayers and condolences are with The Martin family
