Recycle Your Game
September 2, 2022
Equipment Drive, Fall 2022
VYS and L.A.C.E.S. are back again this fall for our 'Recycle Your Game' equipment drive. We will be collecting new or gently used soccer equipment to foster "A Lifetime of Soccer" for at-risk youth around the world. Accepted equipment includes; soccer balls, cleats, socks (new), shorts, jerseys/warm up shirts, cones, nets, and coaching equipment. In previous drives, we managed to collect an abundance of jersey sets, cleats and balls which were shared with kids in Sierra Leone. We hope to continue our support of other communities and make this drive just as great!

VYS in Full View: Travel Program
Three Clubs... One Union
There are many components to the beautiful game we love, and unfortunately, like any sport, injuries are a part of it. While we work tirelessly to ensure our players are in top shape on and off the field, you should always be prepared for any situation. This raises the question, how do you know if an injury is readily manageable or if medical assistance is needed? Our partners and soccer specialists at The Jackson Clinics have developed a short video series for VYS outlining how to identify pain points for common soccer injuries along with the proper actions to take in order to prevent further damage. You can find all information on the proper assessments below or on our Player Performance page.
What is the VYS: No Room For Abuse initiative?
Our Sports Performance Program is kicking off in a big way for the fall season! The club is excited to announce on September 9th, special guest Dale Blair will be joining Sports Performance director John Ciampa in a discussion on player development and improving the youth athletic experience. Dale, a tenured English professional coach, will be visiting the U.S. for several days and is stopping by to share his coaching experience with us. Any parents looking to better understand how they can positively influence their player's youth soccer experience will certainly benefit from the wealth of knowledge Dale brings. An event you surely won't want to miss! We'll see you at the Vienna Moose Lodge Saturday the 9th!
The VYS Sports Performance education series is back! This time we are kicking things off with a special guest panel on May 16th. Led by Sports Performance Director, John Ciampa, our panel will discuss playing with confidence and focus on the physical and mental factors needed to do so. Attendants can expect to learn various ways to improve both off the ball and field. Joined by Keith Kaufman and Matthew Brown, this will be a worthwhile event for all players looking to continue their development and take that next step.
