AYSO Region 304 Welcomes Kickstart!


This is the beginning of your child’s soccer journey — and you get to be part of every step along the way
.

Region 304 is excited to introduce Kickstart! AYSO Kickstart is AYSO’s entry-level soccer experience designed to reimagine early play environments, spark joy, boost development, and help kids fall in love with the game from day one.

Grounded in years of sport and early-childhood research, Kickstart transforms traditional practice into child-centered play. Sessions feature fun, fast-moving activities and modified small-sided games that create a lively, sandlot-style jamboree experience.

Kickstart is typically offered for the youngest and first-time players and serves as the first step in the AYSO player pathway.

What does a session include?

 Each Kickstart session is simple, fast-moving, and designed to keep players active.

Every session includes:

  1. A Fundamental Motor Skill activity (such as skipping or balancing)
  2. A game-like soccer activity to build skill and understanding
  3. The Big Match – a modified small-sided game (2v2 or 3v3)

Each session also includes a social and emotional learning theme, such as helping others, sharing, or teamwork.

Parents choose Kickstart because it:

  • Feels welcoming and low-pressure
  • Fits into modern family schedules
  • Focuses on fun, development, and child ownership
  • Builds confidence instead of stress
  • Is run by an organization they trust
  • Encourages parent participation and support

For many children, Kickstart is their first organized activity, and the program is designed to make that experience positive and memorable.
