All coaches must be registered in Blue Sombrero, no exceptions! 

Our Region must pay $25.00 per background check. This is required by AYSO and protects our region and our children.

Since January 1, 2001, all American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) Regions, Areas, and Sections are required to comply with the AYSO policy on criminal background checks. AYSO acts as the criminal background requesting entity.

Any person wishing to volunteer in AYSO must complete an AYSO Volunteer Application Form in the Blue Sombrero system each year, submit an e-signed copy to the Region and consent to a criminal background check. The application form includes a Criminal Background Check Release. All requested information must be provided by the applicant, including Social Security number, driver license number (or other government issued photo I.D. if the applicant does not drive) and date of birth.

Our coach volunteers range from parents with no soccer experience coaching for the first time, to seasoned veterans who have coached 10 seasons or more.

As a coach, you will motivate, congratulate, teach, encourage, drill, console, strategize, lead, and mentor a small group of children. Even if you have no soccer experience, AYSO will help teach you the principles of the game and how to coach kids to have fun and learn soccer. You'll learn about the game and you'll likely love it so much you'll become a coach next year.

All coaches must be registered volunteers. Please log in above, and follow the prompts to complete volunteer registration.  Please ensure you complete the entire process, including the esignature at the end.

This year all coaches will have access to The Coaching Manual at no cost. This is a great tool for coaching development and growth, and it will help you improve your understanding of coaching. It also provides practical examples of training sessions that can be implemented to accelerate the development of your players by creating a first-class soccer learning environment. We will provide more information on that prior to the start of the season.

Please note, every volunteer must have a background check done. The steps to complete this are located at:

All volunteers are also required to complete several training courses through eTrainU before stepping out onto the pitch to coach our youth. Access that training by following these instructions: https://wiki.ayso.org/wiki/Access_to_AYSOU
