The mission of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide players with disabilities the additional support they need to fully participate in a quality soccer experience. The ultimate goal of the AYSO EPIC Program is to provide a holistic AYSO experience for players, families, and volunteers, from team uniforms, to playing on a team, to cheering from the sidelines, for all participants.

1) Cognitive or Development
2) Vision
3) Sensory
4) Deafness or Hard of Hearing
5) Speech or Communication
6) Mobility

The 10 week program runs in Fall and Spring each year on Sunday afternoons.
