Volunteers

People who give freely of their time and talent to a worthwhile group or cause. A volunteer is someone who believes that people make a difference and is willing to prove it. AYSO needs volunteers because people power runs AYSO. Volunteers strengthen AYSO by giving their time and energy, their ideas and ideals. Volunteers make AYSO happen. 

Almost anyone can volunteer. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandparents, even friends. We need women and men, young, middle-aged and "young at heart" folks. AYSO wants volunteers who want to help make our soccer program a fun experience for kids. 

Overview
All volunteers (e.g,. coaches, referees, team parents) are required to complete a few requirements. After the you have completed the "signup" process, we would like for you to contact us so that we know you expressed interest in volunteering and can verify the requirements are completed in the system:

AYSO Safe Haven Certification
AYSO's Safe Haven is estimated to take 30-60 minutes, and the certification will be considered "current" until if/when AYSO changes the course material. The course was developed to protect both children and volunteers. The program covers protection guidelines, safety and injury prevention as well as the importance of role modeling sporting behavior and supporting the philosophies of AYSO.

CDC Concussion Awareness Certification
CDC Concussion Awareness certification is estimated to take 45-60 minutes, and the certification will be considered acceptable until if/when the CDC changes the course material. By taking this free, online course and using what you learn, you will be well positioned to improve the culture of concussion. Your actions can help create a safe environment for young athletes so that they can stay healthy, active, and thrive - both on and off the playing field. Upon completion of this training, you can print out the certificate, making it easy to show your league or school you are ready for the season.
