How to become a volunteer AYSO Coach

1.

Each year, submit a Volunteer Coach Application.

Log into ayso114.org under your own account and click on Volunteer to submit an application.

2.

Each year, complete an online background check.

After submitting your volunteer application, look for an email from [email protected] You must follow the link in the email to initiate the background check.

3.

Complete the required online safety videos.

After you submit a volunteer application, you will see a list of required courses on your volunteer profile. Most of these courses can be accessed through AYSOU. (Look for the AYSOU button next to your volunteer application.)

4.

Complete a Live Scan fingerprinting.

This is a one-time process. (Sorry, Live Scan from other organizations does not satisfy this.) Region 114 Coaches can receive a prepaid voucher for a free Live Scan fingerprinting.

5.

Attend an in-person Coach Certification class.

You can take this course through Region 114, or ANY AYSO Region. To find courses, go to your volunteer profile and follow the "AYSOU" link. This is a one-time certification.

How To Find Certification Courses

How do I get to AYSOU? Great question. Step one is to submit a volunteer Coach application. Once you do, next to your application you'll find a button labeled, AYSOU. (Note: if you are a new volunteer, sometimes it takes about two hours before you can access AYSOU.)
