"The Allentown Youth Soccer Club is a nonprofit, educational organization whose purpose is to promote, foster and perpetuate the game of soccer for the children of the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The program is designed to introduce the Game to the children and develop their athletic skills, promote sportsmanship and foster teamwork. Additionally, we stress academic achievement and physical well being. The program began with about 60 players in the fall of 1998. We currently have more than 250 children participating on both recreational and travel teams.

The majority of the activities take place at the Lehigh County Sports Fields complex. Our goal is to make the program more accessible by expanding training and matches to the many parks located nearer to the downtown area. Through the generosity of many sponsors, we are able to provide transportation, equipment and training, free of charge for all recreational players and subsidize the travel team program.

The program has been successful, and with the continued support of local government, civic organizations, business enterprises, concerned citizens and the soccer community, we will be able to enjoy sustained growth."
