The soccer club is registered in Pennsylvania as
the nonprofit corporation Sharpsville Area Youth Soccer Association (SAYSA) and registered with the IRS as a 501c3 charitable tax-exempt
corporation. We are a member of our state soccer association Pa West, the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA), and the US Soccer Federation.
Therefore, our club's policies, constitution, and by-laws must adhere to
standards set by these organizations. The current club president maintains these
records with the club files.
(addendum January 2007) At the annual club membership meeting in June 2006
the membership approved a measure to modify the club constitution allowing the
club to advertise and do business as the "Shenango Area Youth Soccer
Association" for the purpose of better reflecting the makeup of our membership.
The corporate name "Sharpsville Area Youth Soccer Association" will be retained
for business, legal, and taxation purposes.
