BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED: AYSO Region 300 is a 100% volunteer run organization.  It takes many volunteers to make this program work.  Some of our most experienced board members will soon be leaving the AYSO 300 Board after many years of service.   We are recruiting new board members who can assist us in continuing recreational soccer in the community.  Without the commitment of additional volunteers, our program will not continue to flourish as it has these past few years. 

We need the next generation of volunteers to step up.  Please consider making a commitment to the 3,000+ children of our community by volunteering to join the AYSO 300 Board.  Current open board positions include:

Field Lay-Out Coordiator--Coordinate initial field lay-out of all fields each fall and spring.

Secretary--Take minutes at monthly board meetings.

Assistant Registrar--Assist with registration and help input registration information and ratings. Help maintain database.

Division Coordinator--Form and manage teams for one age group. Liasion between head coaches and AYSO Board.
