AYSO is a volunteer-run organization. Coaches, referees and administrators are volunteers. Parents, neighbors, relatives and friends lend their time and talents so that each child gets a fantastic AYSO experience.

AYSO has developed special training that helps volunteers who may have little or no soccer experience gain the age-appropriate knowledge and skills that they need to be effective.

It only takes a few hours to become qualified as an AYSO volunteer say as an introductory-level coach or referee. But if you're not able to commit even that much time, there are many 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.

Get started now and help our community kids enjoy soccer and the AYSO experience!
