Everyone Plays®

Everyone Plays® is one of AYSO’s Six Philosophies and it extends to all of AYSO 300’s programs.

EPIC provides a quality soccer experience for children whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream teams. EPIC teams may include those who are:

• blind or visually impaired
• amputees or conditions that impair mobility
• mentally or emotionally challenged
• autistic
• Down Syndrome
• Cerebral Palsy

Our goals for every participating player are:

• have fun playing soccer
• understand the fundamentals of the game
• learn teamwork and fair play
• increase positive self-esteem
• become more physically fit
• meet and be comfortable with new people

For parents thinking they would never see their children playing a sport or making new friends, EPIC gives them joy and hope. They are able to relax and enjoy watching their children having fun like other kids, perhaps for the first time.
