Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Palos Verdes AYSO (Region 10). Youth volunteers may work as trainers under the supervision of an adult volunteer or as referees/assistant referees. Trainers work with players during practices and games, and fulfill essentially all of the duties of a coach. Referees/assistant referees are trained in the Laws of the Game of soccer and can officiate games with players 2 years or more younger then themselves. 1. Referees and coaches are needed most during the fall season, from Sept - Nov. They may also volunteer during winter soccer (Jan - Feb). 2. Two youth volunteers may co-train the same team or train their own teams, depending on their preference and availability of training positions. 3. For youth trainers under age 18, an adult (registered with AYSO National as an adult volunteer) must supervise at practices and games. If you have an adult volunteer in mind, let your assigned Division Coordinator know. Otherwise an adult volunteer will be chosen from the division. 4. Complete an online AYSO volunteer registration and take the appropriate coach or referee training as shown on the Coach or Referee pages of ayso10.org. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
