Welcome
to the South Madison County Soccer
Organization. We are a non-profit organization providing
a facility for youth soccer under the guidance of the Mississippi
Youth Soccer Organization. SMCSO is a full service organization established
in 1995.
SMCSO
provides an opportunity for the youth of our area to participate
in group sports, developing their soccer abilities as well as developing
teamwork, responsibility, self-confidence and a love for the game.
We are partnered with MS United, as our select arm. We serve approximately
1900 soccer players over all from age 4 and above. We strive
to provide age/ ability appropriate training activities and games.
Our developmental
approach focuses on individual technical skills and group tactical
awareness and a passion for the game. It is our belief that experience
is more important than outcome. SMCSO further enhances our players
and coaches by providing the following developmental programming:
- Small
sided games
- Goal
Keeper Training
- Skills
Night
- U10
Developmental pools
- Summer
Soccer Camps
We are
fortunate in that our organization is one a few in the state that
employs a full time Director of Coaching. Kenny White, our director,
has a USSF “A” license and over 16 years of coaching
experience. He has provided SMCSO with numerous coaching education
opportunities. Kenny is a member of both USYSA and USSF National
Instructor Staff. The league and Kenny are committed to not only
developing players but also coaches.
Our organization
believes that proactive and ongoing parent education is important.
We look to the parents to provide coaches for our teams. We also
ask our parents to provide an example of sportsmanlike conduct for
our players.

but also the State and possibly the region.
