Volunteer to be a Coach

Coaches and Assistant Coaches

Coaching children is a very rewarding experience. And coaching your own child's team can be one of the most rewarding experiences of all! Coaches are pivotal to having children get the AYSO experience. If Regions don't have enough coaches, registration is scaled back and kids who want to play in AYSO are turned away.

Do you have little or no experience with soccer? No problem! AYSO will teach you, based on the age level you are coaching. Unique age-appropriate coach training is one of AYSO's specialties. If you plan to be at your child's soccer practices and games, you'll also have time to be your child's coach.
Check that box on the player registration form to become a coach today!
Contact our Coach Administrator, Adam Hernandez at [email protected] for more information.

Volunteer Requirements

All of our volunteers are required to participate in:
1. Background check (completed in the volunteer registration)
2. Live Scan finger printing through an AYSO event or approved site. You can complete this by visiting this website: AYSO Live Scan
3. Log onto your account at aysoregion6.org and take online trainings on AYSOU for the following:
    Under "Training Library" > Safe Haven
    - Safe Haven
    - CDC Concussion Safety
- Sudden Cardiac Arrest
    - Safe Sport (90 min course)
    Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate and locate the online trainings.
4. Division specific coaches online coarse. Playground, U6, and U8 are online only. U10 and above have an online + field (in person) course. We will provide dates and information for in person/field portions of the trainings when available. You can also check the calendar on the AYSOU portal for dates and locations available at any given time.

Become a Coach, Skip the Waitlist

If your player is on a waitlist for their division, and if we need Head Coaches in that division, then submit your Head Coach application (log into aysoregion6.org account and go to the volunteer tab to submit). After you register for a Head Coach position, send an email to the Coach Administrator, Adam Hernandez at [email protected].

Benefits of Coaching

As a head coach, not only are you allowing more children to play, you also get to:

Choose the day and time of practice
Choose the uniform color/style (must attend Coaches meeting)
Choose your assistant coach (who may be the parent/guardian of your child's best friend) (only available in U6, U8 & U10 divisions)
Choose the team name (from the approved list of team names)
Coach more than one team and your games will be scheduled so there are no conflicts (we do our best)

No experience is necessary and all training is provided. Learn what others find to be such a rewarding experience.
