AYSO Region 337 ~ Coaches

Russ Wise is still with us as Assistant Coach Administrator, but due to his taking on coaching soccer at Central High School it became more feasible for him to step down to assistant. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication he's given during his time as Coach Administrator.

Attention Coaches ~ U12 and up

Beginning this season:

Coaches will be on one side of the field
Parents will sit on the other side of the field

All volunteers (coaches, team parents, parent referrees must fill out a volunteer form and return it to the CVPA, Pat Burgess or her assistant, Laura Walters. These forms must be returned before the beginning of the season. However, if you filled one out in the fall, you are good to go because these last for one year. If you did not fill one out in fall, do so in the spring.

All volunteers should take the Safehaven course. This is an AYSO certified training course and can be taken online. Click the Safe Haven link on the left hand side of this page and it will take you to www.aysotraining.org.

Play Fair, Pull Back

In our region we have a standard that once you are up by 5 goals, you are to pull back. We realize that some people do not always agree with this policy, but to stay within the AYSO philosophies, we feel that this is a necessary standard, please click the link below to find out more about this.
