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.

VALUES

  • We engage the Alexandria community
  • We are accountable
  • We evolve
  • We prioritize health & safety

OUTCOMES

  1. Improved health and well being of every ASA player
  2. ASA contributes to a thriving Alexandria community

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!

Support & Accountability Form

ASA believes that every child, regardless of family financial situation, should have the opportunity to play soccer. Players who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch at school are eligible for a 25% discount on ASA programs. For further assistance, please email [email protected]

Yes. ASA staff are asked to consider actual and potential connections with the Alexandria Soccer Association that could lead to conflicts of interest and then complete and submit the form. 

Examples of conflicts of interest could include but are not limited to, conducting private training sessions, having a partner who works for ASA, having a child who participates in an ASA program, etc.

ASA coaches in the Academy program are prohibited from conducting private training for players in the same age group as any Academy team they are a head or assistant coach with. For example, a U10 Girls Academy coach cannot conduct private training for any U10 Girls Academy players. If you have questions or concerns regarding the conflict of interest policy or a potential conflict of interest, please email [email protected].

Due to the differing nature of ASA programs each individual program has a specific refund policy based on timing of their first practice, game or event. Please visit a program page to learn more about the refund policy.
