AYSA PARTNERS WITH SCOTTSDALE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Scottsdale Online Learning Program
Arizona Youth Soccer Association proudly announces its partnership with Scottsdale Unified School District - Scottsdale Online Learning (SOL) program. The partnership is intended to inform all high school aged kids in Arizona that they can complete their high school degree online, regardless of where they are in the world!
This means that young players who receive invitations to national or professional academies prior to completing high school can now "chase their dream" and complete their degree online with a laptop computer and internet connection.
Scottsdale Online Learning (SOL) was developed for Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) to provide more options for Scottsdale students and parents, plus to attract students from other areas to pursue a quality education with highly qualified teachers.

Teachers are encouraged to set high standards for students, while being understanding of special schedules. SOL intends to support well-rounded students who want to gain a quality education whilst pursuing interests that compel them to step outside the norm of traditional school...

US YOUTH SOCCER
OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM COACHING MANUAL
The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program has contributed to the improvement of players, coaches, administrators and referees since its inception in 1977. No other high performance soccer program has such a long and deep history in growing the game in America. In 2014 we began a process with both the boys and girls programs of helping the players and coaches learn and execute the American style of play.
The contents of the accompanying Manual are derived from the information shared with us by the Youth National Teams of the USA to raise the level of performance for international competition. US Youth Soccer encourages all teams participating in high performance soccer to utilize the Manual to its fullest. By doing so clubs will raise their overall level of play and should, in time, produce more players and coaches capable of making their way farther along the pathway toward the Youth National Teams.

"GOING BACK TO THE FUTURE"

In a following scene, through the intercession of the local scientist, Doc Brown, Marty escapes from terrorists by hopping in Doc's DeLorean and accidentally going back to 1955. He meets his own mother as a teenager, who it turns out has the hots for him rather than his own father, George McFly...
