JASA has provided youth soccer for the Jacksonville community since 1975. JASA is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization which is dedicated to providing an enjoyable and rewarding experience to youngsters and their families through the game of soccer. While our program has produced many collegiate and even some professional players, our primary goal has always been to emphasize individual development and growth through participation in the game of soccer. We strive to do that by offering a quality soccer program for every youth player that focuses on skill development, understanding of the game, teamwork and sportsmanship. JASA receives no direct public funding, but does have an excellent working relationship with the City of Jacksonville. The main soccer complex (Rotary Soccer Fields at Woodlands Park) where "home" matches are played is an excellent example of cooperation between volunteer, governmental and civic organizations. JASA operates under a volunteer board of directors. Soccer programs provided by JASA are implemented under this organization's by-laws (see below). All teams formed under JASA's sanction are JASA teams. No teams sanctioned under JASA belong to any individuals or other organization. Teams that do not comply with the organizational by-laws will have their sanction revoked.
