El Valle Youth Soccer Association

About EVYSA

El Valle Youth Soccer Association was officially formed in 2022 and unanimously accepted into the South Texas Youth Soccer Association in February 2023. The primary goal of our organization being to offer youth soccer education and play to the youth of the Rio Grande Valley in a just and fair manner, in all levels of play.

In the world of competitive youth play, our area has unfortunately lost a lot of talented players and area teams to organizations upstate, which aside from supporting play in any manner that benefits the player, we know the reality is..that not every player/family has the ability, timewise and financially to do this, EVYSA hopes to bring such an opportunity back to local residents. We are well aware of the talent within players in our area and the opportunities in play and one’s future that a player is able to strive for under specific formed state and national play can be boundless, there is no reason our children should not be able to have such options. As parents of past and current players, we also know the issues others have encountered when it came to local play and again, we strive to #1, not make those mistakes from the start and watch for them and #2, be able to listen and work on any issues that may come up, primarily, ensuring that main playing rules are followed whether it be in recreational and or select play and therefore have a fair platform of play.

As of now, our three main RGV clubs include Brownsville Opportunity Youth Soccer, Edinburg Youth Soccer Club & Harlingen United F.C, we will continue to bring in new clubs as the interest arises and all clubs register players for Recreational play as well as Select/Competitive players & teams. Currently, all clubs are registering for the upcoming Recreational Spring 2024 season (you may find registration links/info above) as well as Select/Competitive team Intent to Play Sign ups. Any further information, please contact us at 956-222-0368.
