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
