The Coach is the most important volunteer at AYSO and it's a very rewarding job. No experience is necessary! AYSO provides free, high-quality training! Some other things to note:

  1. It's super easy - just point the kids toward the goal and encourage them to have fun!

  2. Minimal time commitment - you're going to watch them play anyway so why not run around with them!

  3. It's convenient - you will be the sole decision maker as to what day(s) to host training sessions. 

  4. Your child will always remember the great time they spent with you playing soccer!
