Twin City Youth Soccer Association (TCYSA) wants you to join it for the 2008-09 season in one of our Academy, Challenge or Classic Select divisions. With three distinct levels of play, TCYSA provides an environment for each player to develop to his or her maximum ability. Twin City is open to players from ages of 8 to 17. All players -- new and returning -- must tryout for any of the select programs in late May. Information on how to register for tryouts is here.

TCYSA is the premier youth-soccer association for players in Forsyth County and the surrounding areas. Our association provides training to our athletes from professional coaches and trained parent coaches. Players further benefit from sessions with the coaching staff of Wake Forest University. These unique resources allow us to offer the highest level of youth coaching in the Forsyth County area.

Each division forms boys and girls teams. Academy includes the U9 and U10 ages; Challenge begins at U10; and Classic begins at U11. The Challenge and Classic divisions field teams up to the U18 age group. Participation in each division requires that players commit for the year, work hard and excel. However, the competition faced in each division is different. Academy players form a pool from which teams are created each week to compete against other Academy programs. Challenge teams compete in the Piedmont Triad area, while Classic teams play statewide.

For all divisions of TCYSA, the development of the player as a whole person is our top goal. We encourage players to succeed at the highest level their potential allows, whether in soccer or in school, and to have the character and maturity to understand the work necessary to attain and maintain those levels to achieve success.

We hope you will consider trying out for TCYSA soccer this spring. Players who are interested in learning more about Academy, Challenge or Classic soccer are strongly encouraged to contact TCYSA and attend the TCYSA open house.
