Maine Youth Soccer Association (USYS) is a statewide nonprofit association that serves as the governing body for youth soccer in the State of Maine. As a state affiliate of the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) and the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), our purpose is to help promote and administer youth soccer in Maine through the development of instructional, recreational and competitive soccer programs and leagues for players of all youth ages, sexes and playing ability levels. We encourage, support and assist the participation of member players and teams of member players in soccer tournaments and programs outside of Maine, and we provide education, training and licensing opportunities for players, coaches and referees.
