NewFriend20 Program:

As a special incentive program, we want to reward you for introducing new friends to AYSO R35. Introduce a NewFriend20 Family to AYSO R35 for registering their children during Dec 1 or Jan 12 events, and you will enjoy $10 additional discount as a NewFriend20 Sponsor per every NewFriend20 Family you introduce.  Your friend, the NewFriend20 Family, enjoys $10 discount too. The following conditions apply without any exceptions.

1. The NewFriend20 Family should NOT have registered any child with AYSO R35 during the last 1 year (Fall 2011, and/or Spring 2012 and/or Fall 2012).

5. The NewFriend20 Family should clearly indicate NewFriend20 Sponsor's full name on their application submitted at the time of walk-in registration. Sponsor names cannot be added on previously submitted applications and any attempt to do so could lead to disqualification from this program. 
6. A NewFriend20 Family can have only one NewFriend20 Sponsor, but a family can sponsor as many NewFriend20 Families as they want.
7. The cumulative refund will be calculated after the first day of the season for those families still eligible, and the refund check will be issued within 4-6 weeks.

To be eligible, those volunteers will need to provide the list of those NewFriend20 Families that they will be sponsoring prior to the day when they plan to volunteer as registration day helpers. The list should be sent via e-mail to the commissioner (commissioner@ayso35.org) and the registrar (registrar@ayso35.org) ahead of time.

One final note:

We are always in need of more coaches! Coaching soccer at this level does not require any previous playing or coaching experience.  You will be spending every Saturday morning with us anyway, so please consider helping out. Please email me, or ask one of us on Saturday if you are interested in coaching.  We'll provide you with the information and the training to get you started.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!  

Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns.

Best Regards,

Alexis Butler

U5/U6 Coordinator
