Volunteer Power
AYSO runs on volunteer power. Nearly 150,000 registered volunteers run the local AYSO programs all over the country. Every coach, referee, Regional Commissioner – the list goes on – is a volunteer. Even the National Board of Directors and National President are AYSO volunteers. If it wasn’t for the thousands of volunteers throughout the U.S. donating their time every season, AYSO wouldn’t be as successful and far-reaching as it is today.
Thank you for volunteering for AYSO. We need you!!!

Volunteer Protection Act of 1997
This law grants immunity form certain types of prosecution for volunteers who meet its requirements. In order to receive full protection under the law, AYSO volunteers need three things.
- They must be properly trained and certified.
- They must be performing duties as laid out in a position description.
- They must act within the scope of AYSO's Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.
AYSO Certification
AYSO's goal is to provide certification training for all its volunteers. Certification offers the hope that every AYSO child will be treated with understanding, compassion, and respect.
