First, thank you very much for your commitment to giving our kids a positive sports experience. We know that it's not easy to juggle family, job and a team of kids whose passing skills may need serious work. On behalf of this community of families, we want to let you know that we appreciate the sacrifice you're making and how grateful we are for the lifelong impact your positive attitude will have on the kids you interact with.

Also, in the course of the season (and often before we've even started) lots of questions, issues, concerns and ideas about how to make things work better may come up. DON'T HOLD IT IN! Talk to your Division Coordinator or one of our Head Coaches or to any Board Member and let us know what you're thinking. You're in the front lines of this organization and you see things that other volunteers may not. Please share your experiences with us. For other resources, check out www.soccer.org and www.aysonyc.org, both of which can link you to a lot of other info.
