Be an AYSO volunteer!

 

Why? Because we can't survive without you. AYSO Region 372 is an all-volunteer organization - the fees we charge pay strictly for uniforms, equipment, and other expenses. Organizing a soccer program for 750 kids is an enormous undertaking made possible only through the dedicated efforts of people like you. All households with a child in the program are asked to provide one volunteer. Volunteers without a child in the program are also welcome.

 

How much time is required? We have jobs to suit all schedules and talents - see list below. Time commitment can be as little as a few hours on one day; some jobs can be done at home.

 

How do I sign up? All individuals who volunteer in any capacity must submit a volunteer application. Parents are asked to submit this application at annual registration in May. To do so:

 

  • Complete the volunteer application using eAYSO, our online registration service. The application requires you to give three references, including a personal reference, a professional reference and a reference from any prior volunteer experience with youth.
  • Print two copies of the application. You may wish to print a third copy for your records.
  • Bring both copies of the application plus your driver's license or state photo ID to registration in person. ALTERNATIVE: Another adult in your household can bring in your forms if they have your driver's license or state photo ID to confirm your signature (photocopy OK).
