AYSO KIDS ZONE

At AYSO, we want all players, coaches, families and volunteers to have fun! That’s where AYSO Kids Zone comes in. Kids Zone is a special program that encourages all in attendance, from the sidelines to the field, to use positive language, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and create a great experience and positive environment for every player.

Kids Zone is a reminder that the AYSO soccer fields are a safe, friendly, happy, place for children to play and experience the joy of soccer without fear of judgement. No matter how intense the game can be, kids need encouraging support from the sidelines by agreeing to the following guidelines:

Kids are #1!
Fun – not winning – is everything
Practice proper physical distancing
Set a proper example of sportsmanship
Players Play, Fans cheer and Coaches coach
Respect the volunteer referees…we couldn’t do it without them!
No yelling, swearing or abusive behavior
No weapons, alcohol, tobacco or drugs
Leave no trash behind
Celebrate the player – win or lose

Team Banner

Team banners will be used at the games, Picture Day and Banner Day.   Banners can be professionally designed or handmade. You will need to order your team banner as soon as possible for the Fall season.

Provide the company making your banner with the following information:
     - AYSO (all capital letters)
     - Region 54
     - Team Name
     - Division (BU# or GU#)
     - Coach and Assistant Coach names
     - Team Parent Name
     - Players first name only

NEVER list both the player’s first and last name and/or and jersey number on the banner. This is for the player’s safety
