Please step up and offer the coach your help as Team Parent! The AYSO Team Parent is a pivotal part of every team. Team parents are the coach's assistant, cheerleader and traffic director all in one. These are things you will already be doing if your child is on the team, so take it one more step and help the entire team operate more smoothly! Every coach needs help arranging snacks and water for games, making calls when rain or snow makes practice impractical, and keeping an energetic team in line on the sidelines. You're making a difference for a whole team - a team that includes your child. It's a great way to make your child's team a family experience! 

Another important role a Team Parent can play is the unofficial Kids Zone representative at every game.   Kids Zone is one of the ways AYSO makes sure all its players and volunteers are having fun. The program encourages spectators to use good language, show good sportsmanship in attitude and behavior, and create an enjoyable day for every player. The Kids Zone button, parent pledge form and sign, remind those on the sidelines to act appropriately, and a Team Parent can wear and share these important tools with everybody watching the game.  

Don't forget your annual volunteer application!.  You can fill out your volunteer application at http://ayso.bluesombrero.com/region1089 (the same website where you registered your children), print out two copies of your registration, and bring those copies along with a government-issued picture I.D. (driver's license, non-driver photo I.D., or passport) to any of our registration events, June clinics, or volunteer meetings.

All team parents should take AYSO's Safe Haven Certification class.  It is best to take the class live (check the Calendar for dates, times, and registration instructions). If you cannot make it to one of our live classes, you can take the class online at www.aysotraining.org. You will need your volunteer ID number to take the on-line training.
