How Your Donation Helps
There's no cash prize for winning the pool — just bragging rights. But if you choose to donate $20, here's where it goes:
Fund the Financial Assistance Programme for under-served and lower-income families to register and play soccer. Woodford Youth Soccer Association wants every child to be able to play soccer if they want to.
Soccer is one of the simplest, most inclusive sports a child can play. It's a true team sport — kids learn to communicate, trust one another, and work toward something bigger than themselves. It builds confidence, teaches resilience through winning and losing, and forges friendships fast. There are no body-type requirements and no expensive gear barriers — soccer welcomes every kid who wants to step on the pitch, regardless of size, speed, or starting skill.
For children in Woodford County, a season of soccer can mean lifelong physical health, real social connection across our community, and the kind of belonging that comes from being part of a team. The lessons travel with them — discipline, communication, perseverance — long after the boots come off.
WYSA is also actively building out our girls' programme. We currently run girls' teams from age 8 through 13, and our long-term goal is to provide a full pathway for girls and women in our community all the way through U19 — so every girl who picks up the game can stay in the game.
WYSA is a non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
