Thank you for volunteering with the AYSO community.  Each year we have  volunteers supporting our  children. We love our community and set a high bar for our volunteers. We require the following Mandatory courses for our coaches and assistant coaches.

Training is Free!

Mandatory Volunteer Training
            1.         Age Appropriate Coach Certification (for coaches and assistant coaches)
            2.         Volunteer Registration for 2021 using the "register now" button
            3.         Safe Haven Certification

Volunteer Training Registration

All volunteer training and scheduling is coordinated through the AYSO national website called eAYSO. This website is important for two key reasons:
            1.         Personal information is kept secure. AYSO National makes sure that these protections are continually reviewed and certified, so that you can be confident whatever information you provide is handled properly.
            2.         Volunteer Certifications and Background Checks are coordinated through this site to provide a safe and qualified group of volunteers to our programs.
