The United States Consortium of State Associations (USCSA) is excited to announce its expansion to include a new member organization, Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA), bringing its current total membership to 17 State Associations representing more than one million players and coaches.
Florida Youth Soccer Association’s decision to join the USCSA reflects its commitment to collaboration, modernization, and delivering greater value to the clubs, players, and families it serves. As the youth soccer landscape continues to evolve, FYSA recognizes that aligning with peer State Associations through the Consortium creates meaningful opportunities to share resources, adopt innovative approaches, and strengthen operational effectiveness. By participating in this unified network, FYSA aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of its programs while contributing to a stronger collective voice for State Associations nationwide. This partnership supports FYSA’s ongoing efforts to modernize its operations, expand opportunities for its membership, and play an active role in advancing the broader soccer community.
“FYSA is proud to join and support the efforts of the USCSA,” said Ryan Foley, CEO of Florida Youth Soccer Association. “We view participation in the Consortium not only as a benefit to our own membership, but as an opportunity to help strengthen the collective voice and effectiveness of State Associations nationwide.”
Florida Youth Soccer Association serves as the State Association for more than 250 clubs and leagues across the State of Florida and supports over 105,000 registered players alongside 10,000 coaches. FYSA provides membership for recreational and competitive soccer players at multiple skill levels while operating statewide leagues, Florida Olympic Development Program (ODP), State Cup competitions, coach education, and TOPSoccer, an inclusive program for children with disabilities. Guided by its mission to serve Florida’s youth soccer community, FYSA strives to lead the state soccer landscape toward a better, simpler playing experience. This work is grounded in core principles of serving the game first, strengthening local identity, and embracing progress.
USCSA President Evan Dabby, who is also the CEO of New Jersey Youth Soccer, voiced his excitement in adding the Florida Youth Soccer Association to the organization.
“The USCSA is thrilled to add Florida Youth Soccer to the Consortium, and we know their expertise will help accelerate our efforts,” said Dabby. “Specifically, this expansion will enhance our efforts by leveraging their experience and building upon our team’s successes.”
