2024 Youth Mentorship Program Overview

2024 Youth Mentorship and Referee Introduction

The AYSO 232 Youth Mentorship Program is a comprehensive soccer mentorship initiative aimed at supporting inexperienced AYSO Volunteer Coaches who oversee teams in the U6, U8, and U10 age groups AND engage youth to help fill a pivotal roll in youth sports - refereeing. These programs open to individuals to referee, make a positive impact, and earn some money at the same time. It also opens the door for skilled youth soccer players aged 11-17 to guide and inspire the next generation of soccer athletes. By participating, younger players will benefit from the insights and experience shared by seasoned players in the AYSO 232 Region.

To join one of our three new programs, you must be between the ages of 11-17, complete all specified training provided by AYSO for Youth Volunteers.

These programs not only offer leadership and learning opportunities for individuals, but also aims to enhance the overall soccer experience for younger players. Mentors will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of youth soccer in the Verde Valley region, while youth referees help officiate games of their younger peers.

AYSO runs on volunteer power

This means registered volunteers run the local AYSO programs all over the country. Additionally, our National Board of Directors, National President, as well as every coach, referee, and Regional Commissioner – the list goes on – is a volunteer.

Due to the thousands of volunteers throughout the U.S. donating their time every season, AYSO is as successful and far-reaching as it is today.

AYSO’s grassroots programs begin with a community-based league, called a Region. A Region can range in size from less than a hundred players to several thousand. Each Region is run by a volunteer Regional Commissioner and a volunteer Regional Board. Without a Regional Board including several key and required duties a Region is unable to provide a youth soccer programs of any kind.

AYSO Region 232 is based out of Camp Verde and has been providing a Recreation Soccer Program aka Core Program since it was first established in the 1980s. Today the yearly program averages 100-150 volunteers and 700-850 players spread across the Verde Valley. Region 232 currently provides soccer to Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Sedona, Cornville, Rimrock, VOC, and other surrounding unincorporated areas.
