AYSO is an all-volunteer organization founded upon community involvement. People power runs AYSO. Volunteers strengthen AYSO by giving their time, energy, ideas and ideals. AYSO happens because of our volunteers! A volunteer is someone who believes that people make a difference and is willing to prove it.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone can volunteer (even youths 10 and older)! AYSO needs volunteers who want to help make our soccer program a fun experience for kids - women and men, young folks, middle-aged folks and the "young at heart!" There's a place for everyone.
How can I volunteer - I know nothing about soccer?
You probably have a lot of skills that we could use without knowing a lot about soccer. Check out our list of regional volunteer positions to see if one of these fit's your abilities. Or contact our Regional Commissioner for additional information.
If you are interested in being a coach or referee, AYSO will train you (free of charge) and provide all equipment necessary. In addition, you will start your ref experience with the younger teams, progressing to older teams as your experience level and confidence warrants.
How do I Volunteer?
Becoming an AYSO volunteer is simple:
- Complete the Volunteer form NOW while signing up your player. Or come back to sign up after you have your player registered.
- Sign up for any training classes needed. An AYSO representation will help you determine what classes are needed. (All training classes are free!) Some classes are online and can be taken anytime. Other classes are taught in classrooms and are scheduled periodically by the region.
