Becoming a Volunteer

Make a Difference in the Youth Soccer Community

Remember.... AYSO is a 100% Volunteer-Run Organization! Coaches, referees, and board members are volunteers. Parents, neighbors, relatives, and friends lend their time and talents so that each child gets a terrific AYSO experience. AYSO is a family experience. As an AYSO volunteer, a parent gets to participate with their child and teach the values of giving back to the community. Sometimes it's the whole family with parents, siblings, and grandparents all getting in on the act.

Volunteering should be a fun and fulfilling experience for you. It's a chance to learn something new, or an opportunity to use the skills you already have. Start out by finding a position or task that interests you. If it's a little more of a time commitment than you can offer, find another parent who can share the responsibility of giving back to the community.

We can't make it work without you!

There is something for everyone! Join the fun and show your children how to be a part of a successful volunteer program. Many volunteers are needed to uphold the spirit of AYSO and to make this all-volunteer league possible. Take a minute to read through the position descriptions to decide how you'd like to help out.

Become an AYSO Coach
AYSO has developed special training to help volunteers who may have little or no soccer experience quickly gain the age-appropriate knowledge and skills they need to become outstanding coaches. To become an AYSO coach, you must be certified in the age level you will be coaching.

Become an AYSO Referee
The referee’s job is to be the official in charge of the game. A referee’s authority extends to everyone at the field, including players, substitutes, team officials, spectators, and even assistant referees. AYSO Referees keep the game safe, fair and fun for everyone: the players, the coaches, the spectators, and themselves!

Become an AYSO Administrator
Every AYSO Region is led by a team of administrators and a Region Board who help with strategy and implementation of creating a great soccer program for your community. If you are interested in serving in these and other important volunteer positions, contact the Regional Commissioner today at [email protected].

Still Deciding?

We are an All-Volunteer organization, and we rely on everyone pitching in, in some capacity, to help fulfill our mission. Only interest, not experience, is needed to volunteer!

Our mission is to provide high-quality, low-cost youth soccer to as many children in our immediate and surrounding communities as possible.

We simply cannot do that without every family pitching in in some way. Parents, neighbors, relatives, and friends lend their time and talents so that each child gets a terrific AYSO experience.

There are many ways to be part of your child’s soccer experience. Some positions require ongoing commitments, such as coaching a team. Other roles support one-time events, like picture day or helping out with our end-of-year events. Some positions even allow you to volunteer on your own time from your own home!

Upon registering your child, you will be asked to select a volunteer role. The roles listed are the most critical to the success of our program. The more active referees and coaches we have in our program, the better the experience we can provide to more players.

If you have no desire to coach or referee, or your schedule simply won't allow you to make that commitment, we have numerous other essential roles that need to be filled. Simply email the leadership team at [email protected]. You will be able to tell us about what you like to do, what you are good at, and how much time you are able to devote to helping the Region. We will help you find a role that works for you.

Region 669 and AYSO National is proud to provide the training, both in person and online, and mentorship you need to be successful in whatever role you choose, for free. AYSO training doesn't stop, as long as you're having fun! Referees, coaches and administrators have clinics, workshops and other advanced training courses available to advance their skills.
