Benefits for Players & Parents: As a member of Wooster Soccer Association (WSA), you are a part of our soccer family. This means friendship, support, assistance and a lot more today, but even more tomorrow as WSA continues to improve its total development program. Your son or daughter will receive many benefits from participation. They learn valuable lessons that deal with the heart of everyday life and teach our youth how to handle themselves in various situations. These may include learning to deal with adversity, winning graciously, losing with dignity – all life lessons which our youth face each day. The youth player receives good physical and mental exercise and development as they progress in the game of soccer. WSA players are exposed to many additional development opportunities that come from outside education sources, travel experience and the effect of being a team player. All of this is accomplished in a family atmosphere, thereby providing quality time with your children and giving parents the opportunity to observe their child’s social activity and growth as a youth adult.
