As we enter our 35th year, we continue to ask everyone involved with MAYSA to represent themselves, our MAYSA team and our organization with dignity and honor, while working to achieve widespread respect and recognition.  


Our continued commitment to excellence allows us to build the foundation of self-confidence, camaraderie, teamwork and goal-orientation that both MAYSA and our youth will take with them and translate into successes both on and off the field.


MAYSA is a volunteer organization that strives to offer an excellent opportunity for personal and athletic growth at an affordable cost. Our mission is to provide a fun and exciting environment that fosters the development of the complete soccer player.

Partnerships

Cool Springs Fitness:

10+ years ago while MAYSA was in search of space we could call home. In what can only be called an extraordinarily generous act, Cool Springs Fitness (CSF),  offered to guarantee the long-term availability of soccer to the Mercer Area Youth by building three soccer fields and partnering with MAYSA.


As part of our partnership with CSF, MAYSA runs the soccer program separately as a 501(c)3 and maintains the fields. Our partnership with CSF has insured the children of Mercer and the surrounding area will have access to recreational and competitive soccer for years to come.
