Becoming A Volunteer It's About What's Good For The Kids
AYSO is a volunteer-run organization. Coaches, referees and
administrators are volunteers. Over 220,000 parents, neighbors,
relatives and friends lend their time and talents so that each child
gets a terrific AYSO experience. 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 special 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! AYSO
training doesn’t stop as long as you’re having fun. Referees, coaches
and administrators have clinics, workshops and other advanced training
available to advance their skills.
