Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association

What Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association does

Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association (CAYSA) is a non-profit youth soccer governing body serving the greater Austin and Central Texas region. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, the organization coordinates structured league play across three competitive tiers — Division II (competitive), Division III (recreational), and Academy (entry-level) — for boys and girls aged U8 through U19. CAYSA does not operate teams directly; instead it provides the governance, scheduling, rules, and championship framework for a network of more than 30 affiliated member clubs including Austin Texans, FC Westlake, Hays Youth Soccer Association, Leander FC, Lake Travis Youth Association, Georgetown Soccer Association, Lonestar SC, and Dripping Springs YSA.

The organization's technology footprint is modest and largely outsourced. All league event management, team registration, roster approval, and scheduling run through the GotSport platform, a third-party SaaS widely used across U.S. youth soccer. CAYSA supplements this with Google Drive folders for member club resources and Google Forms for administrative intake. There is no proprietary software, no mobile application, and no public API. The organization operates with 11-50 employees and is led by a board of volunteers and division-level vice presidents covering facilities, referees, and boys'/girls' divisions.

CAYSA's revenue is generated through recurring membership and team registration fees paid by its affiliated clubs and the families participating in those clubs, billed annually per the CAYSA Fee Schedule. The organization is affiliated with the South Texas Youth Soccer Association (STYSA) and serves as the official STYSA roster/card registration event for the region, providing a pathway to Western District and Division 2 State Championships. CAYSA also coordinates policy alignment with US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer, and AYSO, most recently adopting the unified seasonal year age group formation (August 1 to July 31) for the 2026-27 season. Insurance and compliance support is delivered through Players Health.
