The Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) was created in 1982 to coordinate the operation of youth soccer within the City of Winnipeg and its surrounding areas. It has created and operates a league structure for boys and girls aged 9 to 18. WYSA currently operates a year-round U9 - U18 Recreational League, U9 - U12 Developmental League, U13 - U18 Premier League, and an Indoor High School Soccer League. The ultimate goal of WYSA is to make soccer available to all girls and boys with an opportunity to play the beautiful game in an environment commensurate with their skills and interests.
