Click here for Soccer Skills Academy information. Deadline is January 9, 2009. The West Austin Youth Association (WAYA) is a privately funded, non-profit organization that was founded in 1981 to provide recreational opportunities for the youth of Austin. Today WAYA serves over 4,000 children annually with over 30 different sports and recreational activities. The West Austin Youth Association offers every child the opportunity to participate regardless of skill level, talent or financial need. Scholarships are available for each sport and program that WAYA offers. To obtain a scholarship, you must complete the registration form for the sport or program, complete a scholarship request form and return them both to WAYA prior to the registration deadline. All scholarship requests made prior to the registration deadline will be honored; there will be no scholarships given to requests made after the registration deadline. Once the registration deadline has passed, WAYA will contact scholarship participants to notify them of their scholarship amount. Scholarship money is allocated at the beginning of each fiscal year and the amount awarded is based upon the number of requests made per sport. Recent honors received by WAYA:
- Stanford University and Positive Coaching Alliance “Honoring the Game Award”(2007) This annual award recognizes excellence in educational-athletic organizations throughout the United States. WAYA is the only youth sports organization in Texas to receive this award and one of 16 nationally.
- Austin Chronicle Readers Choice Selection for “Best Youth Sports Program” (2005, 2006 and 2007)
