About
Heartland Soccer Club (HSC) operates Nashville Youth Soccer Association (NYSA), a co-ed recreational soccer league for children ages 3 through high school in the Nashville area, including Metro Nashville, East Davidson County, and West Wilson County. The youth program has roots going back to 1981 and today focuses on welcoming every child—there are no tryouts, and new players join alongside experienced ones.
What families get each season
NYSA runs two recreational seasons per year: spring (roughly mid-March through May) and fall (roughly mid-August through October). Teams follow FIFA Laws of the Game with age-appropriate modifications for younger groups, so instruction starts simple and grows toward full-field play as players mature. Referees are paid; coaches are volunteers who receive background checks and safety training. Registered players receive a full uniform kit (jersey, shorts, and socks), and the league schedules about ten weeks of games plus practice weeks, with USSF-certified referees on matches from U4 through U19.
Heartland Soccer Park
All practices and games take place at Heartland Soccer Park, 3135 Heartland Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37214. The complex is reserved for registered NYSA players and is the league’s home base.
Mission, volunteers, and community
The club emphasizes developmental progress, sportsmanship, teamwork, and lasting enjoyment of soccer. NYSA is an all-volunteer nonprofit: there are no paid board positions, and registration revenue supports league operations, field upkeep, and equipment. General correspondence can go to the mailing address P.O. Box 140454, Nashville, TN 37214.
Registration, fees, and family service hours
Families create an account and register through Bluesombrero (Sports Connect) whenever spring or fall signup is open. For the 2026 spring season, priority registration runs through February 7 at 11:59 p.m.; during priority registration the fee is $120 for U4/U5 and $140 for U6–U19, as a one-time seasonal charge with no weekly or monthly add-ons. After that window, late registration is accepted only if space remains in an age group and adds a non-refundable $25 late fee per player; coach and teammate requests are not honored during late registration.
Each family account also pays a $50 family service hour fee. Families complete one volunteer hour per household per season (not per player), choose a convenient date and role, and receive a $50 discount credit toward a future season after that hour is completed.
Adult soccer and other questions
Heartland Soccer Club also organizes adult coed soccer for players 18 and older on Sunday afternoons; for the current adult season and how to join, families can email info@nysa-soccer.org or call 615-971-4149 or 615-668-0534 and ask how adult registration works.
