Thank you for checking into the Northridge Youth Athletic Association Soccer program. 

NYAA Soccer welcomes school age children from Preschool through 6th Grade, boys and girls alike.

Team Break Down (separate teams are likely for boys and girls)

• Pre-K (4 vs 4; no goalie)
• Kindergarten (4 vs 4; no goalie)
• 1st & 2nd Grade (7 vs 7)
• 3rd & 4th Grade (7 vs 7)
• 5th & 6th Grade (9 vs 9)

Depending on the number of children who sign up each season we have a skills practice/scrimmage for coaches to choose their players and make the number of children to coaches more manageable, as well as insuring the children get equal amount of field time to play.  Also there could potentially be a need for a co-ed team if there are not enough players.

Equipment Children Must Have to Play: (We do provide Jerseys & Game Socks for each child)

• Soccer cleats (no metal)
• Shin guards and athletic socks
• Water bottle
• Size 3 balls for Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade
• Size 4 balls for 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, and 6th Grade
• All jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, etc.) watches, barrettes, and any other items that the referee deems improper must be removed. These items are to avoid injury to the player or others.

Teams practice 1-2 times a week at Fritz Drumm Field (5839 Lobdell Rd, Alexandria, OH 43001). This is also where are HOME games are hosted for the season. Practice schedules are done through your child's coach. After registration for both Fall and Spring Season is closed, coaches reach out via email or text with your schedule.

We play against Johnstown, New Albany, Big Walnut, and a few others. Locations of each game are scheduled through the program commissioners of each group and shared through the coaches to their teams. Games can be rescheduled due to weather.

NYAA is a non-profit organization led by parent volunteers in the community. There is always a need for more involvement at all levels, including board members, division coordinators, and coaches. Parents can sign up as coaches, assistant coaches, and referees during registration, but if you would like to be more involved at the board and coordinator level, please contact any of the current board members through NYAA.com. We do hold monthly meetings and you are more than welcome to attend.  

Thank you for yours and your child's interest in soccer.
