Hermiston’s recreational youth soccer program is entering a new era! Beginning this fall, what was previously known as Hermiston AYSO will now be operated locally as HYSO – Hermiston Youth Soccer Organization.
We’re excited to announce a new chapter for youth soccer in Hermiston: AYSO is now HYSO — Hermiston Youth Soccer Organization. For many years, AYSO has provided a strong foundation for recreational soccer in our community, and we’re thankful for everything the national organization has helped us build. Moving forward, our local board has made the decision to operate independently as HYSO in order to better serve Hermiston’s families and youth. What does this mean? The same great experience, expanded field space opportunity at HEROS Sportsplex, and the same commitment to fun, accessible soccer — now with more local control. Most importantly, your registration dollars will stay entirely in Hermiston, helping us improve and grow the program where it matters most: right here at home. Under the former model, a significant portion of each registration went to the national organization. Now, every dollar stays local, supporting things like:
Volunteer coaches are essential to the success of this program, and we will continue to offer scholarships through Made to Thrive to ensure access for all families.
We’re excited for the future of youth soccer in Hermiston and look forward to seeing everyone on the field this fall!
