  • Please read and keep a copy of the Region Rules and Guidelines.
  • All teams U10 and above need to be balanced. Coaches and Commissioners of these divisions will need to form balanced teams based upon evaluations of players in pre-season practices.

Coaching Classes

  • All coaches in AYSO are required to take at least the basic coaches class called Safe Haven. It is highly recommended to also take the class specific for the age group you are coaching.
  • Upper division coaches U16/U19 are required to take the Intermediate Coaches Class.
  • If you cannot come to a coaching class at our field, there are classes offered through other regions that are open to coaches.
  • The Safe Haven course can also be completed online at www.aysosm.org/safehaven/

Other Tips

  • Make sure to recruit other parents to help with the team activities. (Assistant Coach, Team Parent.) They can cover you when you need to be away, make phone calls, set up the snack list, etc.
  • Keep in contact with your Division commissioner who sets the schedule for your division and places players on teams. (See list of board members and commissioners)
