AYSO Region 217 News

Volunteers: ALL volunteers must fill out a volunteer application, coaches, assistant coaches, referees, and team parents are included in this.

Coaches: It is mandatory that all coaches in Region 217 take a Coach Clinic and Coach Safe Haven. It will also be mandatory this year that you must have the coach clinic ‘at least’ equal to or above the division you are coaching. In other words, if you are coaching a U12 team, but only have taken the U10 coach clinic, you’ll need to take the Youth (U12) clinic this year. The breakdown can be seen on the coach page. There will be no exceptions!

Uniforms: Region 217 will be buying uniforms from Sportsphere again this fall.

Referees: As always, we are in need of referee volunteers. We only had a few new referees last year and we hope they enjoyed themselves enough to want to return this year. We will be offering the Regional Referee and Assistant Referee clinics again this summer/fall. (Check the referee page for more info.) All training, uniforms, whistles, etc. are provided for you at no charge. During the regular season you may even do your own child’s game, either as the center, or as one of the assistants. All you need is a desire to help ALL of “OUR” children and a love of the sport. It’s a great way to help out, and very gratifying to know that you are helping provide that Safe, Fair, Fun environment we are always talking about.
