New National Coaches (posted 7/15/2010)

Your Region hard at work in the off season.  Three new coaches earned the National Coach certificate joining Rick Yoern at the highest AYSO coaching level.  These volunteers took a week from family and work to complete a grueling class that requires book and field knowledge to pass.   Our new National Coaches standing with the AYSO National Coach John Ouellette(from left to right)  Melinda McKee, John Ouellette, Darren Clark and Bill Pearson.  We believe in offering the best coaching possible in AYSO Region 12 and we congratulate our new National Coaches

AYSO
Mission Statement
& Philosophies
AYSO's Mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO's Philosophies:
  • Everyone Plays
    Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50% of every game. It?s no fun to spend the game on the bench?and that?s no way to learn soccer!
     
  • Balanced Teams
    Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it?s more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
     
  • Open Registration
    Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
     
  • Positive Coaching
    Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. A coach can be one of the most influential people in a child?s life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience for every boy and girl.
     
  • Good Sportsmanship
    We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
     
  • Player Development
    We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game
