Who can coach?

The most important quality we look for is people who get “it”. What is “it”? AYSO’s Six Philosophies: Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development. And most importantly, understanding that the example we set as coaches is not about a win at all costs attitude but rather creating a positive experience for children that will build friendships, create memories and develop character that translates on and off a soccer field.....There is no “I” in Team but there is a “u” in volunteer!
