A letter from the President ~ My name is Ken Caeners and it is my great honor to welcome you to the ACYS Program and all we have to offer. Truth be told now is one of the most exciting times in our program’s 25 year history. God is laying out a new path and by His grace we are responding to His prompting to build and improve on everything we do. We are expanding into areas of outreach and sports program development, several for the very first time. New qualified staff members, coaches and volunteers of strong character are coming on board daily bringing with them a fresh perspective and dynamic experience to each of our programs. We believe it’s not enough to possess just a good resume but rather a good name to go with it. “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold”. People like this do more than just teach skills, they present inspiration and motivation to those around them; aspiring them to achieve something greater. Our mission is to create and foster an environment for these individuals to thrive and by doing so pour their lives into the lives of your children and family. Our vision is to see our work as more than just providing quality youth sports; it’s about doing life together unified in one spirit to serve one another daily for the common good of our community. It’s about serving real people, not pursuing an unrealistic perfection. Loving one another as described in the bible is more than an emotion; it’s a commitment to action. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” This happens on and off the sports field. We hope you will act by joining together with us in this great pursuit, this season or in the near future. It’s going to be exciting journey! May God bless you & your family always, Ken Caeners ACYS President
Hello families and friends of Spirit United ~ It is a pleasure and privilege to be a part of the ACYS program. As your new Program Director I look forward to the great times ahead as we take the Spirit United Soccer program to a new level. We are capitalizing on the great things that have been done in the past and cementing the groundwork for our new and exciting projects. Keeping within the great tradition of ACYS and its wonderful sense of establishing faith and morals within our youth, we feel the need to give our kids greater goals to strive for. We here at the club have worked hard in involving ACYS in multiple facets. In addition to joining TOPSoccer, we are looking to provide greater challenges for our competitive teams with the goal of competing at the highest possible level within their age group, whether its Region Cup or State Cup. We plan to accomplish this by participating in highly competitive leagues while ensuring our highly qualified coaching staff stays active in their certification progress and development in order to give your kids the best overall experience and training. We want all our players and families to know that we appreciate the fact that you have chosen or are considering ACYS as your home club and that we are dedicated to you as well. We understand that stability is important in the lives of all children and young adults, and our commitment is to provide an instructive, fun and safe environment for them to grow as people and compete as athletes. We thank you for your interest in ACYS and look forward to our journey to exciting and successful times together with you. Thank you, Eddie Santos

COACH ACYS
U9-U18 Comp
ACYS was started in 1986 by a group of five spiritually minded men whose kids participated in youth sports. These men endeavored to begin a youth sports league based on biblical principals like integrity, fairness, teamwork, accountability, mutual respect and love. Their desire was to create an environment where the well-being of children would be put first over a win-at-all cost attitude; a place where if you weren’t the best player on the team you still received an opportunity to play and have fun. Most importantly, they desired to create a league that honored God not only in word but in action by modeling Christian values through its programs, policies and people. Today, ACYS has grown into one the largest multi-sport youth sports leagues in Central Florida. Each season we provide a quality fun, safe and instructional environment where kids can be kids while learning to play sports and experience important life lessons along the way. ACYS registers nearly 3,000 participants, some 300 teams over four sports: soccer, flag football, basketball and lacrosse. Soccer has the largest following and is played in both the fall and spring of each year. Currently only soccer has a competitive division called Spirit United which provides a venue for the more advanced athletes to develop and showcase their skills in soccer. Central to all our programs is an unwavering commitment to excellence, accountability and consistency! Come and experience the ACYS difference!
SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS ACYS is supported by a community of schools and neighborhoods throughout the greater Orlando Area. Several schools have participated in our various sports programs for over 20 years; The Master’s Academy and The Geneva School are two such schools.

We were there for five days. New Missions has 28 schools with over 9000 students. Our goal was to conduct a soccer camp and establish a soccer league amongst the schools. We also distributed about 600 shoe boxes. ACYS and FC Elite contributed about 10 boxes of soccer balls, shoes, socks, shirts, and water bottles. “I have been on mission trips before but have never seen such poverty. Haiti is a beautiful country that God majestically designed. In addition to significantly impacting the lives of the children in those 28 schools this experience was life changing for my sons Paul and Josh,” said Loydie Mansingh.
