The Nashville Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) has been providing a quality soccer experience in the Nashville (Tennessee) area for over 28 years. NYSA was established in 1981 by volunteer efforts to provide Nashville area youth players with the opportunity to compete in soccer tournaments and state championships sanctioned by the United States Youth Soccer Association (through membership in the Tennessee State Soccer Association).

The original Board of Directors included John Jones, Alf Fidler, Bill Jocelyn, Stan Cook, Marti Cook, Dr. Bill Dutton, Duncan Frazer, Gene Cheatham, Kay Cheatham, and Jed Hill. The early efforts of those men and women laid the foundation for an organization that today provides a complete youth recreational soccer program for players ages 3-18. Several area soccer clubs started as part of NYSA, and when their enrollments were large enough, they formed their own clubs.

During start-up, NYSA was helped enormously through sponsorship of the local McDonald's franchisees as well as donations from many local companies. In 1984, through the generosity of a local church, NYSA moved to their current location on Heartland Drive in Donelson.

NYSA offers two soccer seasons per year: fall and spring.

NYSA is an all volunteer, non-profit organization, comprised mostly of parents who have children in the league. One hundred percent of our money goes to pay expenses, make improvements to our fields, and purchase equipment to keep up our complex. The main objective of NYSA is to make available a good place for children to learn and play soccer!
