Background: 

Vienna Youth Soccer is one of the largest youth soccer clubs in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia. Today, it serves more than 3,500 players annually, providing more than two hundred thousand hours of service in the field every year.

This nonprofit focuses on fostering a deep sense of community through its programming, offering recreational, developmental and travel soccer, as well as camps and clinics.

Since its inception in 1975, this remarkable organization has served 50,000 members directly through its programs, engaged more than 200,000 individuals in the community and played over 100 seasons of soccer. The group has also donated over $2 million to the community through scholarships and facilities development, following through on one of its founding tenets that all should have the opportunity to play.

On January 17, Vienna Youth Soccer will celebrate its 50th anniversary, a milestone for this beloved youth sports organization that aims to instill a lifelong love of soccer by members of the Vienna community.

Motion: 

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I ask without objection that a resolution be prepared to celebrate Vienna Youth Soccer’s 50th anniversary to be presented out of the Board room.
