Welcome!
    
As you know, AYSO Region 214 is a volunteer organization.  Community volunteers perform all board duties, coaching and refereeing, clerical work, field maintenance, and develop special events.  

We require that all of our families act as volunteers in some capacity.  During the upcoming registration process, you will be asked to volunteer for a volunteer position.  It is important that you fulfill that obligation so that our organization provide the enjoyment of the game  to our children.
   
We deeply appreciate your volunteer time to AYSO Region 214.  When you are called upon, please make every effort to fulfill your pledge.  
    
As you may know, this program cannot exist without the participation of all parents.  Your commitment works to create and maintain a positive experience for all of our children. Again, thank you for your participation!

During the registration process, you are required to complete a volunteer form. Please make sure that you print out this form and bring it with you to registration.

Each AYSO region may have different positions for volunteers than other regions. Some volunteer postions at our registration do not exactly match the titles during the online process. For example, due to a coaching shortage we do not have assistant coaching positions as a fulfillment of your volunteer requirement.

We will shortly post here the correct volunteer positions as the requirements become set.
