MORE THAN A CLUB.
A COMMUNITY.
Built by local families, driven by volunteers, and dedicated to developing young players both on and off the field.
WE ARE DONEGAL.
Donegal Youth Soccer (DYS) is a volunteer-run youth soccer organization proudly serving families throughout the Donegal School District, including Mount Joy, Marietta, and Maytown, Pennsylvania.
From a child’s first experience with soccer to competitive Select and Travel teams, DYS provides opportunities for players of different ages, abilities, and experience levels to learn, compete, and grow.
But we’re about more than soccer.
We’re about building confidence, developing character, creating friendships, and bringing our community together through a shared love of the game. Our coaches, volunteers, and families work together to create a positive environment where players feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to reach their potential.
Whether a player is just getting started or has been part of DYS for years, our commitment remains the same: developing great players and even better people.
Under the guidance of our experienced, professional coaching staff, Select players receive:
- OUR MISSION
To promote youth soccer throughout the Donegal community while developing the athletic and life skills that help young people succeed both on and off the field.

RESPECT THE GAME.
RESPECT EACH OTHER.
At Donegal Youth Soccer, sportsmanship is more than an expectation. It’s part of who we are.
We believe every player deserves a positive, safe, and respectful environment where they can learn, compete, make mistakes, and grow.
Our players, coaches, parents, and spectators all share responsibility for creating that experience. We expect everyone representing DYS to demonstrate respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, and one another.
The way we play, coach, and support our teams matters just as much as the final score.
GREAT CLUBS ARE BUILT
BY GREAT COMMUNITIES.
Donegal Youth Soccer runs on the dedication of volunteers who give their time to create opportunities for local kids.
From coaching and team management to field maintenance, events, and club operations, there are plenty of ways to make a difference.
You don’t have to be a soccer expert to get involved. You just need a willingness to help.
