It's About What's Good For The Kids
AYSO is a all volunteer run organization. Coaches, referees and administrators are all volunteers. We rely on the commitment and involvement of parent volunteers to organize, manage, coach, referee and support a top-quality soccer program for our players. We would not exist without the contributions of this great group!
AYSO is a family experience. As an AYSO volunteer, a parent gets to participate with their child and teach the values of giving back to the community. Sometimes it's the whole family with parents, siblings and grandparents all getting in on the act. Coaching and refereeing may be the most visible volunteer roles, but there are many ways to help a team or Region. Many volunteer roles require small amounts of time, but are very valuable to the kids. There is an AYSO volunteer opportunity for everyone. Find out how you can help.
AYSO's volunteer foundation ensures that it's all about what's good for kids. It also makes AYSO very affordable. AYSO operates in a business manner, but volunteers ensure its "profits" are happy, healthy kids playing a sport they can enjoy for life.
AYSO has developed accredited special training (free, local training) that helps parents who may have little or no soccer experience quickly gain the age-appropriate knowledge and skills they need to be effective coaches and referees. It also has unique administrative and management training. This ensures that each community program:
- Abides by the AYSO philosophies
- Offers a great AYSO experience
- Continues to grow, offering the AYSO opportunity to more children
It only takes a few hours to become qualified as an introductory-level coach or referee. But if you're not able to commit even that much time, there are many small jobs you can help with. Even a couple of hours each season are an important contribution to your team and Region!
Opportunities to build and enhance coaching/refereeing/management skills are offered throughout the year at workshops and skill sessions. Please consider volunteering in some way when you register. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE TO VOLUNTEER, we will train and mentor you along the way. Remember, when everyone does something, no one has to do everything! To volunteer, select the appropriate options during player registration or reach out to the RC from the contacts page.
