Founded in 1995, the Gorham Youth Soccer Association (GYSA) is a non-profit corporation that provides a competitive travel soccer playing experience for children between the ages of eight (U9) and thirteen (U14) who reside in the town of Gorham. GYSA’s mission is to develop well-balanced, successful individuals in a competitive team environment through instruction of the technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of soccer. GYSA is run entirely by volunteers and is separate from the Gorham school soccer programs and the Gorham Recreation program.
