We couldn't do this without you.
Parent/family participation in running our league creates a community working together! We request each family to volunteer for 4 hours over the season per player. Some of you choose to volunteer much more and we encourage everyone to do what they can to help. AYSO (and most leagues) require volunteer participation to allow us to offer a better experience for kids and families, but also allows us to keep the costs low while providing a high-quality soccer program. It takes a lot of effort to run a soccer league and with everyone putting a few hours in per season, the Downtown San Jose Region 1631 runs smoothly.
Every family volunteers each season to make our program run smoothly and keep our program affordable for downtown SJ families! AYSO is a 100% volunteer-run organization. It only takes a few hours to become qualified as an introductory-level coach or referee. Most volunteer roles take only a few hours per month or less. You will be able to sign up for a volunteer role during registration or afterward.
It is a great opportunity to show your involvement in your children's lives and help other families. You will meet other families in the community and build a network of friends and neighbors. There is something for everyone, so pick a role that is challenging and fun!!!
