GENERAL INFORMATION
Parents
Learn the game! As parents, we often watch our child playing and disagree with referee calls or get angry at no referee calls and sometimes wonder what just happened. An excellent and non-intimidating way to become more informed is to attend one of our A/R (Assistant Referee) classes. Even if you have no desire to referee, the A/R class is a basic and informal introduction to the rules and fundamentals of the game. Check out our calendar for the next A/R class!

As a parent, you play a special role in contributing to the needs and development of youngsters. Through your encouragement and good example, you can help assure that all the players learn good sportsmanship and self-discipline. In AYSO, young people learn to work together, to sacrifice for the good of the team, to enjoy winning and deal appropriately with defeat - all while becoming physically fit and healthy. Best of all, they have fun.
Support Your Child
Supporting your child by giving encouragement,participating as a volunteer and showing interest in their team is very important.
Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory - that way your child will always be a winner despite the outcome of the game!
Always Be Positive
Parents serve as role models for their children. Become aware of this and work to be a positive role model. Applaud good plays by your child's team as well as good plays by the opposing team.
Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sports activities.
