The AYSO Team Parent is a pivotal part of every team. They are the coach's assistant, cheerleader and traffic director all in one. These are things you will already be doing if your child is on the team, so take it one more step and help the entire team operate more smoothly!
Every coach needs help making schedules, sending information out to parents, arranging snacks and drinks for games and keeping an energetic team in line on the sidelines. It's a great way to make your child's team a family experience!
Another important role a Team Parent can play is the unofficial Kids Zone representative at every game. Kids Zone is one of the ways AYSO makes sure all its players and volunteers are having fun. Kids Zone encourages spectators to use good language, show good sportsmanship in attitude and behavior, and create an enjoyable day for every player.
As a Team Parent, you can expect to assist with the following:
- Communication - Keep your parents informed of practices, games, events, etc.
- Distribution of team uniforms
- Games - During the Fall/Core season, coordinate a team banner and schedule game snacks.
- End of Season - Coordinate a team party and trophies/medals.
You're making a difference for a whole team - a team that includes your child. Volunteer to become a Team Parent during registration.
