Be an AYSO volunteer!
Why? Because we can't survive without you. AYSO Region 526 is an all-volunteer organization - the fees we charge pay strictly for uniforms, equipment, and other expenses. Organizing a soccer program for over 500 kids is an enormous undertaking made possible only through the dedicated efforts of people like you.
How much time is required? We have jobs to suit all schedules and talents. Time commitment can be as little as a few hours on one day; some jobs can be done at home.
How do I sign up? All individuals who volunteer in any capacity must submit a volunteer application. Parents are asked to submit this application at annual registration in May.
To do so:
- Complete the volunteer application using this system. The application requires you to give three references, including a personal reference, a professional reference and a reference from any prior volunteer experience with youth.
- Complete and authorize a background check as indicated in the volunteer application.
- Print two copies of the application. You may wish to print a third copy for your records.
- Bring both copies of the application plus your driver's license or state photo ID to registration in person.
Remember: If you have completed the online application process to be an AYSO volunteer, you will not be officially registered until your application is signed by the CVPA Miguel Arroyo, who will check your proper form of personal identification.
