What ages and programs does Tyler Soccer Association offer?Recreational leagues cover Under 4/5 through Under 13 and older with spring and fall seasons and tournament play between seasons. Academy programming and competitive registration through NTSSA are available for families seeking more than recreation. The East Texas Premier League serves U11 and older select-style teams in U12, U14, U16, and U19 boys and girls divisions.
About
Tyler Soccer Association (TSA) is a volunteer-led youth soccer organization serving Tyler and East Texas with recreational leagues, academy programming, competitive team registration through North Texas State Soccer Association (NTSSA), and the in-house East Texas Premier League (ETPL). Families can move from introductory small-sided play for the youngest ages into league soccer with spring and fall recreational seasons, tournament weekends between seasons, and higher-level pathways when players are ready for select-style competition closer to home than many Dallas-area leagues require.
Programs and age groups
Recreational soccer runs spring and fall seasons with age-band guidance from Under 4/5 through Under 13 and older, including dedicated coordinator support for boys and girls divisions. Younger recreational formats emphasize fun, basic ball skills, and social development—coaches may be on the field at U4/5, teams use four players on the field with no goalkeeper, rosters stay between six and eight players, and every child receives at least half of each game’s minutes. Games use size 3 balls on small fields with four short quarters. Academy and competitive tracks sit alongside recreation for families pursuing additional training and league play. Competitive registration is tied to NTSSA membership, and the club promotes East Texas Premier League participation for strong local matchups.
East Texas Premier League and competitive play
The East Texas Premier League serves traditional club teams at U11 and older with boys and girls divisions at U12, U14, U16, and U19 using the same age framework as TSA recreation. The league lets East Texas select teams compete regionally without the travel burden common in Dallas-based competition. Team registration for the league carries a $500 fee per team per season regardless of roster size, with competitive player registration at $30 per player in fall and spring cycles. Team managers register through the club’s competitive workflow and should use the GotSport account created by the home association rather than duplicate profiles. February 15 is the stated deadline for league registration in competitive materials.
Registration, seasons, and fees
Recreational families register players through GotSport; after signup and uploading a birth certificate, players wait for team assignment while coaches typically reach out in late August or early September ahead of fall play. The club announces that the Fall 2026 recreational season begins in September. Non-rostered players can register for tournament-only participation at $35. Office support for registration questions flows through the registrar and age coordinators, with an executive board available for unresolved issues.
Where games are played
Primary game activity centers on Lindsey Park at 12557 Spur 364, Tyler, Texas 75709. City of Tyler rules treat Lindsey Park soccer fields as game-only sites, so training or extra use requires written approval. The club hosts food vendors at Lindsey Park during the season and enforces a no-pets policy during scheduled games except certified service animals. A printable field map helps families navigate complex assignments during the regular season.
Safety, volunteers, and contact
TSA is operated by volunteer board members, schedulers, and coordinators who run seasons, rules, fields, coaching support, and tournaments. Coaches and adults working with players complete SafeSport certification through GotSport, with separate guidance for players 18 and older and minors. Families can call the main office at (903) 939-9829; office visits are by appointment—contact Beth Davis at bethtylersoccer@gmail.com to schedule. Mailing and business address: 5610 Old Bullard Road, Suite 205, Tyler, Texas 75703.
