Thank you for volunteering!  There are 4 steps to complete for a volunteer.  Please contact Volunteer Coordinator if you have questions.  We have a new registration and learning management system so it is a learning curve for everyone. 

1.      Register as a volunteer on www.ayso121.org.  Click on the link in the upper right-hand corner that says “Register Now” or if you have a player registered "Login" with your username. It will take you to a registration application page. Complete only the questions with a red asterisk.  Once you submit the registration information this will automatically start the process for your background check.  This needs to be done for ALL Volunteers EVERY year.  You will then receive an email from STERLING VOLUNTEERS, make sure to look for it in your spam folder as well.  You need to use this email to complete the background check process.  Region 121 will pay the $25 background check fee.

4.     All adult volunteers are required to be fingerprinted. This is a one-time requirement. The fingerprinting must be done using the Live Scan process. To help streamline the process, AYSO has partnered with ApplicantServices.com. Through this process, the cost has been reduced to $20 – $25 per volunteer based on the process you use. If you are fingerprinted at a live AYSO event the cost is $20 and it is $25 at a Live Scan Service Center. Please understand that this specific process has been negotiated specifically for AYSO, so you will need to register via the link provided below to receive this cost discount and to ensure the information is sent to AYSO directly from the California Department of Justice.

Fall 2023 volunteer points overview and information.

U10 and U12 teams will be responsible for Volunteer and Referee points totalling up to 15 max points. These points will play a large role in which teams will make it to the area playoffs. Each team is given an equal opportunity to earn all 15 points. The points are clearly grouped, and each grouping of points can ONLY be earned in that capacity. 

8 Referee points 
5 Volunteer points
2 Field Day points
15 total points



Referee points may be earned by a referee associated with your team. You may have as many referees as you can recruit! They must be AYSO certified and do all safety training and register as a volunteer. You may earn one (1) point per game refereed. Coaches may not referee their own games. All referees must check in with the tent volunteers/board members prior to their game. Games are available for referee sign ups, if you sign up for a game, please be committed to your time slot. If you need to drop or change your time slot, please reach out to referee staff ASAP, repeated no-shows for referees WILL result in NEGATIVE points. If your U12 player would like to referee, we love youth volunteers, and they can referee for U10 games!


Volunteer points may be earned by completing assigned volunteer shifts by an adult associated with your team. Each team will be assigned 5 shifts throughout the season that have been scheduled around their game schedule (you will not be expected to miss your player’s game), these shifts will be handed out at the team manager meeting. Responsibilities and expectations for the different shifts will be outlined below. The Volunteer must check in with the board members on site at the appointed time to get your points.


Field day points may be earned only on field day by adults associated with your team. Each adult that comes to field day may be counted for one team only. If 90% or more of your team comes, you will receive a bonus point for field day! Volunteers need to check in with a board member with the player’s name and division(or birth year) to get your points. Once volunteers check in, they will be assigned a group to do various things needed to prepare for the season.



Volunteer Shift Responsibilities and Expectations:

  • Early Morning Shift: Check in with board members on site by 6:15 am to get your point. Check out with board members before leaving. 

    • Responsibilities of this shift include: helping to pull things out of our storage bins, helping to set up field tents, tables, and painters(putting painters with certain colors of paint at designated fields), distributing painters to fields for first games to paint, distributing corner flags to fields, painting the parking lot, dropping off collapsible goals using the cart, helping early birds get to the correct fields, and other tasks that the board may deem reasonable for this shift.

  • Tent attendant/ Field monitor: Check in with board members at the tent at an appointed time to get your point. Check out with board members before leaving.

    • Responsibilities include: roaming the fields and letting board members know about potentially unsafe situations (i.e. dogs on the field, problematic situations, injuries, etc.), attending to one of the field tents and helping people find fields, giving information and game cards, reminding teams of field repaints during field changes (between the 2nd and 3rd games), and other tasks that the board may deem reasonable for this shift.

  • Afternoon Closing Shift: Check in with a board member after your game (or at your scheduled time) to get your point. Check out with board members before leaving.

    • Responsibilities include: Helping to take down tents and tables, emptying trash cans, loading carts, loading storage bins, collecting miscellaneous left behind items, making sure teams picked up after themselves, letting board members know if fields were left untidied (collapsible goals, trash cans, flags etc. were not brought into field tents), and other tasks that the board may deem reasonable for this shift.
