AYSO Region 45 is an all-volunteer organization. It is our hope and expectation that every family will find a volunteer position. Although some positions can be time consuming, there are many one time positions or jobs that can be done at home. It takes hundreds of volunteers to make soccer happen for 1500 players.
If you have questions about any of the team roles that are not answered here, contact your Division Coordinator, Coach Administrator, or Referee Administrator. Refer to our Contact Information page for email addresses.
Coach, Assistant Coach, and Referee Roles
Coaching and Referee are the most critical volunteer roles to ensure that teams can be formed and that we have a successful season. These roles are a special opportunity for you to engage with players and build meaningful, lifetime relationships with our community youth. There are very few volunteer activities that provide this level of impactful engagement.
o Coaches need to be able to run practices once or twice during late afternoon weekdays. Coaching is the primary face of AYSO45 to our parents and the primary interface to our players. Coaching is a unique opportunity to interact with neighborhood youth and your own children that not many volunteer groups offer. Become part of a special team in our neighborhood. For coaching, please email [email protected] if you more questions.
o Referees are also a primary face of AYSO45 and do their volunteer time at games on the weekend, so a referee does not have any weekday requirements. For referee, please email [email protected] if you have further questions.
To volunteer to be a coach, assistant coach, or a referee, sign up during your player registration.
Youth Referees
AYSO has a special youth referee volunteer program for ages 14 and up. Please visit this document for instructions for creating a Youth Volunteer account.
