The New Mexico Youth Soccer Association is the only comprehensive youth soccer association operating in New Mexico and is the official youth state association of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and member state association of US Youth Soccer. We offer opportunities for players U4 to U19, from the most recreational players to players that can compete for National Championships or play for the national team, in over 20 communities across NM.
We have had over 50 years to develop comprehensive programs and the benefits that go with NMYSA membership. We have separated these benefits into three areas: the automatic benefits that apply to every member registration with NMYSA, the special programs available to those who wish to use them, and the benefits we offer as the official youth representative of the USSF and US Youth Soccer in New Mexico.
