| Region 166, Sparks, Nevada |

There are three steps to becoming a new volunteer AYSO Coach:
First: go to
www.eayso.org and complete a volunteer application form for Region 166. Print 3
copies of the completed application form. You can bring them to any player
registration location
during Spring sign-ups or by turning them into the
Division Coordinator (DC) for the age group you
will be coaching. Your application will then be processed. If you don’t have access to a
computer/internet, you can fill out a volunteer form by hand at registration or by contacting an AYSO
board member. Please note that you will not be allowed to coach an AYSO team until a volunteer
registration form has been completed and processed per National AYSO Safe Haven policy.
|
Second:
you must complete our online
Safe Haven for coaches training course. This course is
required for all volunteers who sign up to coach and/or assistant coach a team in AYSO. (Safe
Haven training is a one time course. Returning certified coaches do not have to retake this course
each new season).
|
Third:
All new coaches must also attend and complete an age specific
coaching clinic. By
participating in a coaching clinic, you will learn the proper AYSO philosophies and coaching
styles that have such a positive impact on the youth and adults of our program.
|
If you have coaching certifications from another AYSO region, please contact
crissiehull@ayso.org or call 1-800-872-2976 Ext 5476. Once you have registered in our region as
a volunteer, she will transfer your certifications to REGION 166 and email them to you. Then just
present them to the coach administrator for approval. Otherwise you will have to attend one of our
clinics listed below. You can signup for any of them online or at our Spring registrations. Each
volunteer who attends will receive a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION at the end of the course.
Keep your certificate with you at all times while on the field during all practices and games.
|
SPARKS AYSO REGION 166 can not allow anyone to coach without being
certified as an AYSO COACH per AYSO National Guidelines.
|
| SAFE HAVEN CLINICS: |
|
There are three Safe Haven course times available this season. You only need to take this 3
hour course one time in your AYSO coaching career. Remember, you will not be able to coach
until you complete, “SAFE HAVEN”! pick just one of the three options to attend.
