American Youth Soccer - Still wondering why the sport is called "soccer" in some countries and "football" in others? OK, we'll tell you. The sport started as football in England. By the time it became popular in other parts of the world, some countries already had sports known as football: the U.S. had American football, and Australia had Australian rules football. In countries where football was already played, the sport became known as soccer, short for "association football," the original name for the sport in England. You can also visit the American Youth Soccer Organization from this site.
