Make an Impact on a Child. Become an AYSO Coach.
To many observers, coaching young children seems a lot like trying to herd cats. For those lucky 
enough to get to actually do it, the satisfaction in seeing a child grow in confidence, coordination and discipline is incomparable. If you are considering being a coach we will train you, mentor you and provide you all the equipment. Your kids will be impressed and your players (and their parents) will all really appreciate what you do.

Rules & Regulations
In addition to learning training techniques and footwork drills, you also want to know all the soccer rules and regulations (the Laws of the Game) so you can teach them to your players.
The best way to get this info:
- Take the Regional Referee class (check the CALENDAR for classes)
Three great reasons to get certified as a Regional Referee:
- You will learn the rules
- You will understand what those people in the yellow jerseys are thinking when they are ref'ing your games.
- You can offer to referee or assistant referee the other games in your division in return for the other coaches covering your games (since we NEVER have enough referees and games get cancelled without a full ref crew signed up)
