Saskatoon Youth Soccer Inc. started as an informal collection of clubs that joined together to become a registered non-profit corporation in 1984. In 1996 the organization became more structured with the formation of five permanent clubs/associations, each responsible for a geographical area or zone established under the By-laws of SYSI. These member clubs are Saskatoon United Soccer Club, Hollandia International Soccer Club, Aurora Soccer Club, Lakewood Soccer Association, and Eastside Youth Soccer Association.
 
The Saskatoon Youth Soccer Inc. athlete fund was created to help fund eligible athletes who otherwise would not have the financial means to participate and have already maximized their annual funding allotment through other funding sources such as KidSport or Jumpstart Charities.
