Saugerties AYSO is a 100% volunteer run organization. All volunteers must be registered with AYSO national. Volunteer backgrounds and references are checked by national staff to ensure the safety of our children. Your information will not be shared with any third party. Key personal information (e.g., social security numbers) will be encrypted. You will need to fill in specific information, including details on personal references. Once you are ready, please click on the link below to register as a volunteer through AYSO's national system, www.eAYSO.org . It's easy to do. Just follow the login instructions. Click on Volunteer on the top of the eayso site, sign up and go. (Make sure you hit Volunteer, not parent.)
If you have previously registered as a volunteer, it takes just a few minutes to update your record. Volunteer forms must be updated annually prior to the Fall season. Returning volunteers do not have to print out any forms because we're set up for digital signatures.
Registering as a new volunteer just takes a few minutes. Once you are done, print the form, sign it and mail it to:

To ensure the safety of both children and volunteers, each coach is required to take a short training session called Safe Haven. It focuses on safety and appropriate behavior with children as well as first aid and other on-field issues. Safe Haven also gives volunteers the highest degree of protection available under the law. Training can be completed in under an hour using our online training system.
