Hi. My name is Miranda. If you have volunteered in the past I am sure we have met. I have been a volunteer for AYSO for 11 years. In this 11 years, I have never had a season where I didn’t have to beg for coaches and refs. In this time I have done the job 6 people, because no one will help. I have done all this because I love providing a positive experience for the kids. Sports are so important for child development, and social skills.
Mary and I have been running this volunteer organization with 300 + kids. We have had help from several people, and while I appreciate all of the help we have received it has been 2-4 of us, training coaches, making teams, and schedules.
I am posting this because of all the negative comments. I want you to understand that we both work, and have 11 kids between us. But we made it work because of the kids.
I am asking all the parents to understand that this has been incredibly difficult for us. We are human and make mistakes, so there is no need for bashing us.
We have given all we have to AYSO. I am asking that you please step up and keep this program alive. If we can get positions filled, the jobs are easy. Many hands make light work. We need the following positions filled.
Regional commissioner
Registrar
Treasurer
Child volunteer protection advocate
Ref admin
Coach admin
Referees
Age range admins. (U6, U8, U10, interplay)
PLEASE consider volunteering. You are more then welcome to message me personally to discuss positions. Miranda Nance
