All AYSO volunteers need to register as volunteers with the AYSO National office every year. This includes coaches, assistant coaches, team parents, referees, field set up team and snack bar assistants. To register as a volunteer, you have two options: 
1.  Go to www.eAYSO.org.
2.  If you are a returning volunteer, you can select the log in button. If this is your first time, you select the first time button. 
3.  Select the volunteer button on the right side of the screen.
4.  Select the option that best fits your description i.e. returning volunteer, new volunteer. 
5.  Follow the steps on the screen and complete the information requested.
6.  Print out two copies of the volunteer forms. 
7.  Sign both copies of the volunteer forms. 
8.  Mail both copies of the forms to AYSO PO Box 333, San Marcos, CA 92079.

AYSO no longer accepts hand-written adult volunteer forms. Please visit eAYSO to sign up today. It's quick and easy by just following the steps above.

Once the Child and Volunteer Protection Advocate (CVPA) receives your signed forms, you will then be entered into the system and your volunteer registration will be complete for the upcoming season.

Any person wishing to volunteer in AYSO is subject to a criminal background check, with a strong focus on the following:

• Coaches of sports teams
• Assistant coaches of sports teams
• Officers, board members, and staff who lead or organize children's activities
• Referees

For the most current version and details please check the AYSO National Background Check Policy. For your convenience, we also host a local copy of the .pdf file here.

SAFE HAVEN CLASS REQUIRED FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS

Safe Haven is a program instituted by AYSO to comply with the Child Protection Act of 1993.  Each team must have a certified coach that has taken this class. AYSO requires all volunteers are certified through the Safe Haven Program. The class goes over Child Protection, safety rules and volunteer liability protection. The Safe Haven Class is available online. San Marcos AYSO also hosts several Safe Haven courses throughout the year. Contact our Child and Volunteer Protection Advocate (CVPA) to find out when courses are being held and to sign up.
