Hi, my name is Brian Patterson and I would like to welcome you to the Wadsworth Amateur Soccer Association (WASA) IN-HOUSE PROGRAM. As a member of the Ohio Youth Soccer Association North (OYSAN) we follow the guidelines and sanctions provided by OYSAN.
This “in-town” program consists of boys and girls ages four (4) through eight (8). We promote equal play for all participants and refrain from keeping statistics and/or game scores. At all levels, this program stresses a fun filled experience for the players, parents and coaches. All players receive awards at the end of the season for their effort and participation.
The IN HOUSE League is divided into four (4) age groups and four (4) separate divisions:
- U5 - 5 years and under (CO-ED)
- U6 - 6 years and under (CO-ED)
- U7 - 7 years and under (Boys and Girls are separated)
- U8 - 8 years and under (Boys and Girls are separated)
Each division has an appointed volunteer commissioner that acts as the point of contact for their respective volunteer coaches. Commissioners are responsible for overseeing the events that happen during the season, picking teams, general league organization and scheduling. We have recently launched the Grizzly Cub Academy for our U5 and U6 divisons. This training format allows for our more advanced coaches to reach more WASA children for basic skill development. It also allows these same coaches to educate our parent volunteer coaches which will build a stonger long term coaching staff.
We ALWAYS need extra help with organizing the various programs so feel free to send me an e-mail if you are interested in volunteering some time. Have a great season!
