Volunteering:

We always need volunteers!  Board Positions, Registrar, Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Referees, Assistant Referee, Field Prep, Team Parents, Hotline, T-shirt coordinators, and Camp Coordinators are always needed! Coaches and Referees are an important part of the AYSO program. Consider coaching a team and if you don’t think you have enough time, consider co-coaching with a friend so each of you can coach one practice or one game. It’s important to the kids! We are always trying to round up coaches since we sometimes have too many kids and too few coaches!
