AYSO 515 is COMPLETELY powered by VOLUNTEERS!!!!
That means we need YOU to pitch in to keep it running smoothly for the kids. The parent volunteer pool is always changing and there is a constant need for new volunteers. The AYSO board is made up of parents like you, who want to see their child get the best program possible.

These positions will need to be filled to keep AYSO Soccer in our community for the 2010/2011 Season:

REGIONAL COMMISSIONER: -the person who makes sure everything gets done and who solves all problems. Because it is such a complex job, we ask for a 3 year committment. Previous RC helps you through the first year.

REGISTRAR: -lots of computer time! -helps organize registration - helps enter all players into database - helps keep track of paperwork.

COACH COORDINATOR: -makes sure all coaches are properlly trained and have completed all paperwork - works with coaches to improve the quality of coaching in our league.

DIVISION COORDINATORS: -keep coaches informed by division about logistics and changes in the league -Answer questions and solve minor problems for coaches - help coach coordinator collect paperwork.

SAFETY COORDINATOR: --makes sure fields are safe for play each week - is called to file a report when an accident occurs.

WELCOME TO AYSO

. Welcome to AYSO Region 515 serving the youth of Northern Valencia County, New Mexico. The Los Lunas AYSO Region is growing steadily and we expect continued growth as our community develops. We are not only growing in numbers, but in the level of soccer. We hope to be able to promote a better program for all the kids. As you may or may not know, AYSO is completely powered by VOLUNTEERS. . AYSO cannot operate in our community without us as volunteers to help put it all together. So many kids depend on us. It takes just a little of your time to make a big impact in their lives.
Contact the Regional Commissioner to find out about open volunteer positions.
For Fall of 2008, we had 68 Volunteer Coaches and 68 teams filled with 565 kids from ages 4 to 16. We played 409 games. 309 of those were refereed by Volunteer Referees. 110 U-6 games were officiated by U-6 coaches. We expanded our Coach Training and began to expand our Referee Corps with more U-8 Referee Training.

 The American Youth Soccer Organization set out in 1964 to accomplish two goals. First, to promote soccer to American youth. Second, to improve the way youth sports are conducted. AYSO wants to change the traditional youth sports paradigm where some kids never get to play and the only communication between coach and players involves the command "Drop and give me 20." How does AYSO accomplish that? Everything we do is based on these Five Philosophies:

  • Everyone Plays - Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer-so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least half of every game.
  • Balanced Teams - Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible-because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.
  • Open Registration - Our program is open to all children between 4 and 16 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.
  • Positive Coaching - Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.
  • Good Sportsmanship - We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
