Our AYSO Region 1505 thrives because of dedicated volunteers who bring their time and talents both on and off the field. Whether you’re passionate about coaching, organizing, or simply want to support your child’s team, every role helps us provide a safe, fun, and rewarding experience for our young athletes. Volunteers are the backbone of our program – from setting up fields to building teams, everything we do relies on the contributions of our community. Without the tireless efforts of local volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to offer soccer opportunities for hundreds of kids each season.

What is an AYSO Volunteer?

A coach, a referee, a registrar, a fundraiser, a field marker, a publicist, a treasurer - many people, all contributing their time and efforts to make AYSO a great program for our soccer-playing kids.

What Do Our Volunteers Do?

Volunteers in our region wear many hats, supporting the program in countless ways:

• Coaches and Assistant Coaches: Lead teams, help players improve their skills, and ensure every player has fun.
• Referees and Sideline Referees: Help manage the game, making sure it’s safe and enjoyable for all players.
• Team Parents: Coordinate communications, snacks, and team logistics, making life easier for coaches and families.
• Skills Assistants: Help on the field with drills and skill development for players.
• Board Volunteers: Work behind the scenes to organize seasons and events, manage registrations, and keep the program running smoothly.

Why does AYSO need volunteers?

AYSO needs volunteers because AYSO runs exclusively on volunteer power. Nearly 150,000 registered volunteers run local AYSO programs all over the country. Even the National Board of Directors and National President are AYSO volunteers. If it wasn’t for the thousands of volunteers throughout the U.S. donating their time every season, AYSO would not be as successful and far-reaching as it is today.

Who can be an AYSO volunteer?

Almost anyone can volunteer. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandparents, even friends. AYSO wants volunteers who want to help make our soccer program a fun experience for kids. Everyone plays in AYSO, and everyone has something special to contribute to the program.

How do I become an AYSO volunteer?

It's easy. When you sign-up / register your child, you have the opportunity to submit a volunteer registration for yourself. (Note that if you want to volunteer for multiple positions or on multiple teams, you must submit separate registrations per position per team.)

A great region stems from its volunteers. The more people that get involved each season, the better the experience for both children and parents.
