Woodford Youth Soccer Association (WYSA)
WYSA was started in the late 80's during the high school off-season (spring). They formed 2 "Select" teams to play games and continue training and developing their skills. Since then WYSA has over 50 Recreational teams playing at the WYSA Soccer Complex in Versailles and we also host the Kings Hammer Bluegrasss Select team and Academy.
WYSA has players in ages from 3 through to 19 not only from Woodford, but many surrounding counties too. We hold Spring and Fall seasons, so why not come and see us and our facility. If your not in a team yet, then check our Calendar and see when games or Tournaments are being played and come and see for yourself.
WYSA is proud of our facility which consists of:
- soccer fields on 30 acres open 7 days a week, weather permitting
- concession stand - Run and manned by WYSA Board Members & parents
- WYSA board facility building;
- Air conditioned restrooms open on match days;
- Ample Parking;
- In a great location, just off U.S. 60 in Versailles.
This is the perfect sport and perfect place if you want to:
- Experience the worlds most popular sport

- Have fun and make friends
- Stay healthy and fit
- Get out from the behind the computer and off the iPad!!
Come and find out more and join the fun and develop your soccer skills with our recreational teams at WYSA.
WYSA is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to help with the massive amount of work it takes to hold soccer games each weekend.
The key to our success is YOU.
We rely on volunteers from Board Members to Parents volunteering to take on coaching roles for the recreational teams and supported by WYSA. These faces are probably ones you recognize and will certainly see working or cheering on their kids at our complex each weekend.

Per our state (Kentucky Youth Soccer) and national (US Youth Soccer) associations, we are required to hire a Registrar to process each player's registration officially. Our Registrar also serves as a League Administrator and handles more of our administrative duties that require more time than our volunteer staff can handle. The League Administrator is a part-time position, but they do hold 'office hours' to help facilitate the paperwork process with parents. If you have an interest in just helping our soccer league or would like to know about how to volunteer your time, please visit our "Volunteer" section of the WYSA website.
