Volunteer Points

Fall 2023 volunteer points overview and information.

U10 and U12 teams will be responsible for Volunteer and Referee points totaling 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.
