About HAYSA

About Holbrook Avon Youth Soccer Association (HAYSA)

Holbrook Avon Youth Soccer Association (HAYSA) is a volunteer‑run, community‑based organization dedicated to giving every child a place to learn, grow, and love the game of soccer.

Our Mission

HAYSA’s mission is to foster, promote, and advance the understanding and development of youth soccer in Holbrook, Avon, and the surrounding communities. We are committed to:

  • Creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all players
  • Teaching the fundamentals of the game with an emphasis on effort, teamwork, and respect
  • Promoting good sportsmanship among players, coaches, referees, and families
  • Providing pathways for players of all abilities to enjoy and grow in the sport

Who We Serve

HAYSA serves boys and girls from Holbrook, Avon, and nearby towns, from our youngest Mini Kickers through competitive travel teams. Our programs are designed to meet players where they are—whether they are just touching a ball for the first time or competing in league play across the South Shore.

Our Programs

We offer a progression of programs that grow with your child:

  • Mini Kickers: Introductory, fun‑focused sessions for our youngest players
  • Town Recreation: Local, small‑sided games that emphasize learning, friendships, and fun
  • Travel Soccer: Competitive teams playing in the South Shore Soccer League (SSSL)

Many players start in Mini Kickers, move into Town Recreation, and then join Travel teams as they grow in confidence and skill.

Volunteer‑Driven Organization

HAYSA is run entirely by volunteers—parents, caregivers, and community members who give their time as coaches, board members, coordinators, and helpers behind the scenes. Without volunteers, there is no HAYSA.
