What cedarville soccer association does

Cedarville Soccer Association is a volunteer-run, community-based non-profit recreational youth soccer organization operating in Cedarville, Ohio. It delivers two seasonal programs: SAY Soccer for children born 2012-2019, organized into Passers, Wings, Strikers, and Kickers age divisions with 7v7 to 11v11 formats, and Little Dribblers for children born 2020-2022 providing introductory 30-minute games. Both programs operate in the late August through October window, with five home and five away games plus a mid-October area tournament and the opportunity to advance to a state tournament in Cincinnati through the Kittyhawk SAY league.

The organization's underlying technology stack is minimal: it uses the Stack Sports Sports Connect platform for online registration, payment processing, and program administration, and a Blue Sombrero e-commerce storefront for merchandise. There is no proprietary technology; the competitive differentiation rests on community relationships rather than technical assets. Programs are delivered at Massie Creek Park fields in Cedarville, with volunteer coaching supplemented by the Cedarville University men's soccer team for the Little Dribblers age group.

The business model consists of one-time seasonal registration fees ($100 per player for SAY Soccer including jersey, shorts, and socks; $40 per player for Little Dribblers including jersey and socks), supplemented by local business sponsorship (six disclosed sponsors) and merchandise sales. Late fees of $10-$20 apply for registrations after specified deadlines. Family discounts are available for multiple players. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the online registration portal, with awareness driven by the organization website, a Facebook page, and community word-of-mouth. The organization is governed by a board of directors including President/District Rep Mark Mazelin and Vice-President Joshua Kaster, with several positions currently listed as open.

Direct peers

• Challenger Sports: Provider of youth soccer camps, clinics, leagues, and coach education across North America. Comparable as a multi-format youth soccer programming operator serving the same age range and parent customer base.
• Little Kickers: International introductory soccer program for young children (pre-school to early primary ages), operating through franchised local classes. Comparable as an entry-level, fun-first soccer offering for very young children, similar in concept to Cedarville's Little Dribblers.
• Skyhawks Sports Academy: Provider of youth sports programs, camps, and clinics for kids ages 2-14 across local markets. Comparable as a fee-based, season-based youth sports instruction and league operator targeting similar age segments.
• i9 Sports: National provider of organized youth sports leagues (including soccer) for children, using a franchise-style model in local communities. Comparable as a multi-sport, community-based youth sports league operator serving similar age groups and families.

Broad incumbents

• YMCA of the USA: National federation of community recreation organizations offering youth sports and programming. Comparable as a non-profit, community-funded provider of youth recreational sports and family programming, though much broader than a single-soccer association.
• US Youth Soccer: The official youth affiliate of U.S. Soccer, organizing recreational and competitive youth soccer through state associations. Comparable as a governing/umbrella body for amateur youth soccer leagues, though much larger and more competitive-skewed.
• AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization): The largest national volunteer-based youth soccer organization in the US, offering recreational leagues across nearly every region. Comparable in mission (recreational, community-organized youth soccer) but vastly larger in scale and geographic reach than a single local affiliate like Cedarville Soccer.
• SAY Soccer (Soccer Association of Youth): National amateur youth soccer organization of which Cedarville Soccer Association is a local affiliate. Directly comparable operating model (recreational leagues, area-based tournament progression) but at the national federation level rather than a single town.

Others

• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National federation of community youth development organizations. Comparable as a non-profit, volunteer-supported youth recreation provider, though with broader programmatic scope and not specifically a soccer league.

Regional players

• Little League Baseball: World's largest organized youth sports program, operating community-based recreational baseball/softball leagues. Comparable as a volunteer-driven, community-organized amateur youth sports federation, though in a different sport.
