Thank you for volunteering with San Carlos AYSO! We are entirely volunteer run, but unfortunately in this day and age, volunteering with children isn't as simple as just offering to help. Part of what makes AYSO a success nationally and in San Carlos is that families know that volunteers:
- ... have had background checks
- ... have had appropriate soccer training
- ... have had training on how to work with children
- ... know how to protect themselves under the Volunteer Protection Act of 1997.
Please work with us to follow these steps and deliver a great program to our community!
Part 1: Register Online
- Click on the "Register Now" button in the upper right, or if you're already logged in, click on "My Account".
- Create a family account under or log into your account.
- Please fill out an application for each volunteer and for each volunteer position
Part 2: Register
Do contact the appropriate board member or division coordinator to let them know the way in which you want to volunteer. When you pre-register will only begin the process of the background check. Only when a board member knows the role you want to be involved in and confirms that role will you then be fully configured to get started with team assignment, referee courses, or whatever is appropriate for your volunteer role.
Part 3: Get Certified
Please check with the appropriate board member or coordinator on which certifications you need to complete. In general, all volunteers complete the
Safe Haven training and Concussion Training, with coaches and referees undergoing more specific training. Some training like Safe Haven and Concussion Training are online and your certifications will be registered automatically. Other training is conducted in-person with a San Carlos Regional volunteer, in which case those volunteers register your certifications, so make sure they know when you attend a training session!
