The Anthony Wayne Youth Soccer League was organized in 1978 as a recreational soccer league for the youth in the Anthony Wayne and surrounding areas. It combined the existing boys and girls’ leagues into one to provide the youth a positive environment for learning and enjoying soccer. It adopted the motto “Just For the Fun of It” and has continued that philosophy since. 

The AWYSL is coordinated by a group of volunteers identified as the AWYSL Board. This Board consists of a Referee Coordinator, Field Coordinator, Equipment Coordinator, Treasurer, Secretary, and Division Coordinators for the eight different age groups. A member of the Anthony Wayne United Soccer Club attends as a representative of their League. They meet eight months out of the year to coordinate the six-week spring and fall seasons. Division Coordinator information is listed on the registration form.

There are approximately 60 teams of youth ranging from kindergarten through high school. Much of the success of the program has been because of the willingness of parents and friends to volunteer as coaches and assistant coaches. Most games are played at the Nona France soccer fields, Providence Street, Whitehouse, on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. The one or two weekly practice sessions are held during the week at the discretion of each coach. Practice sessions are held a various locations in the community, including parks, schools, churches and homes. Practice sessions are not held at the playing fields to preserve the fields for the multitude of games played there each weekend. As a health and safety issue, there are no animals allowed at the soccer fields. 

Each soccer season consists of both spring and fall games. Registrations are available at the Waterville Public Library and at the Anthony Wayne Elementary and Middle Schools in May. Each player is responsible for their own equipment, including shin guards, white gym shorts, soccer shirt and soccer socks. Soccer shoes are optional. The League provides equipment location information.

Additional information may be obtained by calling the Division Coordinators or Laurie Schofield, AWYSL Secretary at 419.877.5290.
AWYSL Donates Uniforms for Missions Trip:
"Just wanted to thank you again for donating the old soccer uniforms for our mission trip to 
Juarez Mexico. We held a prize drawing at the end of the week. As expected, the uniforms 
were the most popular items. You will find several pictures attached."

During the week of July 4th - 9th 2005 - 30 people from Monclova Road Baptist Church including 2 AWYSL coaches and 6 players traveled to Juarez Mexico (across the border from El Paso). We were serving in an area known as Tara Humara which is in the desert valley outside of Juarez. This village is in one of the poorest areas. Many of the "houses" in the village have been crudely constructed out of wooden pallets. While there, we built a 500 sq. ft home for one of the families, conducted evening evangelistic services in the village and held daytime Vacation Bible School for the children. Vacation Bible School attracted between 30 – 50 children & parents each day. Those that attended VBS were given a gift bag and the opportunity to receive a AWYSL soccer jersey at the end of the week. The old uniforms were a big hit with the kids! Thanks to AWYSL for providing these special gifts for the children.

AWYSL Clothing Merchandise available on-line! Great Gifts!
