North Area Youth Soccer Association (NAYSA) was formed in 1983 by parents interested in providing RECREATIONAL soccer to the North Syracuse area. Since that time, the Association has expanded its coverage to include Clay, Salina, North Syracuse, Cicero, Liverpool, Mattydale and Baldwinsville. The Association has offered thousands of children the chance to participate in a reasonably priced outdoor soccer program. Parents/guardians of all participants are automatically considered Trustees of the Association.

The ages served by the Association are 5 through 18. To participate, the child must be 5 by July 31st of the current season and no older than 18 by the end of the season. NAYSA offers five divisions; a 6 & Under Instructional Division, 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 13 & Under and 18 & Under years of age. The main focus of all divisions is to teach the children the game of soccer and skill development.
