Soccer Season is beginning!

I love to be part of AYSO Soccer. I started as a snack Mom, then I became the team parent, from there I went to be the Volunteer Coordinator, then I went on to be the secretary, and then the Registrar and now I am going to go even deeper and I am going to be the ARC (Assistant Regional Commissioner)! AYSO is a 100% volunteer organization, so I don't get any $ for it at all, but the rewards I do get are priceless. I love to be registrar, because I watch the kids register, and then I enter them, put them on teams (with a little help from my friends) and then on the very first game day! I LOVE IT!~ It all comes together! It is just about the most satisfying experience to watch kids play soccer. And for those of you who do not know about AYSO, it is an organization that IS about the kids. They have 5 philosophies that they run the entire organization by: Everyone Plays (my favorite); Open registration; Positive Coaching; Balanced Teams and another one of my favorites: Good Sportsmanship. I have to say they are all my favorites, but I love the fact that anyone can play. If you have years of experience or are naturally athletic you play and if you wouldn't know a soccer ball from a tennis ball... you can still play! It is great to see the kids who know nothing about the game, learn it, and play it and learn to love it. I could go on and on, but I have to finish up with some registrations. I will chat with you later!
