About us

Cocalico Youth Soccer Club (CYSC) provides soccer programs for players from U6 (Kindergarten) through U19, with an emphasis on age-appropriate skill development, sportsmanship, and enjoyment of the game.

Our youngest divisions (U6–U8) focus on fun, movement, and fundamental skills that build confidence and a love for soccer. As players advance into our Recreational and Select programs, they transition to 7v7 and other small-sided formats designed to strengthen technical ability, footwork, decision-making, and overall understanding of the game.

 

CYSC is a community-based, non-profit organization supported by dedicated volunteers. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to get involved and help make our club a positive, rewarding experience for every player.
