Training and Certification:

1. Register as an AYSO Volunteer at http://ayso.bluesombrero.com/region870.
2. Once you have registered on Blue Sombrero, you will be sent an email from Sterling Volunteers (Verified Volunteers) to complete your volunteer application and to authorize your background check.  You must submit this background check within 72 hours (no cost to you) or your application will not be processed.  This is required.  You will not be able to continue with any course training until your background check is complete and your application has been approved.
3. When your application is approved and you are a registered volunteer, click on the AYSOU link on the home page (see the link above) and enter both your AYSO Login and Password (this is the same as the user name and password of your Blue Sombrero account).
4. Complete:
   • Safe Haven Training Course
   • CDC: Concussion Training Course

5. Upon completion of the above courses, please send an email to our Team Parent Coordinator Jennifer so she can verify your training and let you know if there are any additional training opportunities available.
