AYSO is an all-volunteer organization. We can’t do this without you! Parents, guardians, grandparents and other family members are integral to the success of AYSO Playground sessions. Parent with child provides the best possible introduction to soccer for our youngest participants. Each player will have a parent (or other adult) working with them on the field to help guide them within each activity.
Sessions are led by our Playground Coordinator who introduces and explains each game or activity. The Playground Coordinator needs help from the following volunteers:
Activity Leaders: We need at least four Parents (or other adults), but ideally twelve, to help run the session for each group (one to three activity leaders per group). Activity Leaders and the Playground Coordinator will bring the parents and players back together as a group after each module to recap the lesson and introduce them to the next activity.
Snack Coordinator: The Snack Coordinator organizes weekly snacks for the kids for after their sessions. You’d be amazed at how important the snacks are to the little kids! Ideally, 3 or 4 parents will volunteer each week to provide snacks (one parent per group).
Party Coordinator: The Party Coordinator organizes the end of season party. These parents collect money for the party and trophy/medal. (Approximately $10.00 to $20.00 per player.) Parents can decide if they want to plan a combined party for girls and boys or plan separate parties.
