Alexandria Soccer Association
ASA offers soccer and futsal programs for kids and adults of all abilities and ages
Programs develop character, mental and physical fitness, and interpersonal skills. ASA is dedicated to ensuring that ALL kids who want to play, have the opportunity to find success both on and off the field.
Alexandria Soccer Association (ASA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 1970 in Alexandria, Virginia. ASA offers soccer programs for citizens of all abilities and ages in the city limits of Alexandria, though our programming is open to ALL city residents and non-residents. ASA programs are intended to develop good character, mental and physical fitness, and interpersonal skills through soccer activities. Sportsmanship, social skills, and self-esteem are developed by player participation and regular interaction with volunteer and professional coaches.
VISION
Be a leading community organization that empowers participants to achieve their greatest potential.
MISSION
Connect and engage the community through high quality, accessible, sports programs that positively impact Alexandria.

OUTCOMES

From 2021-2022, ASA engaged in a strategic planning process which engaged community stakeholders, staff, coaches and parents in planning for the future. With help from a third party facilitator our board of directors engaged our community via focus groups, surveys, one-on-one meetings and retreats. The vision, mission and values you see above are the result of this process and we are energized to push forwards towards our bold mission and visions in support of our #ASACommunity!
