Brief Facts about GVSA

GVSA was founded in 1996 with the goal of providing a competitive youth soccer for youth teams in the Metro Grand Rapids and Lakeshore areas.  GVSA has grown from 23 teams to 386 teams this Fall, in the U8 through U19 age groups, as well as over 40 area Premier teams.
The members of GVSA are its clubs.
 If you have questions or concerns they shouldt be addressed through your Club.

The growth of GVSA has been due to a number of factors:

 *  GVSA is run professionally, impartially and independently.  It is not run nor owned by an individual club or person.

 *  GVSA is an open league - players may move freely between clubs each year and GVSA actively encourages new clubs to

       apply. Our community based clubs are the heart and soul of the league.

       We encourage kids to play by being inclusive and inexpensive.

 *  We provide multiple levels of competition and firmly believe teams should be placed according to their ability.  As the largest    

       league in out-state Michigan we provide the best competition for all teams and the best place for local players to develop.

 *  Our affiliation with the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA), the largest and most diverse soccer organization in the USA.

 *  The use of USSF licensed officials in all games.

 *  Low fees.  It costs about $20 per player for an entire year to register with GVSA and about $3.00 per game to pay officials.     

      Our team fees are amongst the lowest anywhere.

 *  When all is said and done GVSA is about kids playing soccer at the appropriate age and skill level, in a competitive yet safe

       environment at the lowest possible cost.  No where in the world does the FIFA motto of "Fair Play" mean more than in

       GVSA, both on and off the field.
