AYSO is the largest youth sports organization in Davis, and it takes a large number of volunteers to run our program to support over 1,800 players. We have all kinds of jobs, and there is definitely one that will fit your schedule and interest. Some jobs are year-round, some just for one season. Some jobs can be done during the week, some during the weekend. There is something for everyone! If you don’t know how to do the job, we’ll train you!

Please read over this job list. We are describing general categories of jobs for the most part. Most of these jobs should be performed by a committee, with one or two coordinators and a number of helpers. The more people involved the less time any individual has to spend on the job.

Check one or more activities that you would like to help us with. Give us your name, phone number, and email address, and we’ll contact you. If you are not sure what a particular job entails, contact the AYSO Commissioner at commissioner AT davisayso.org for more information. The descriptions here are very brief and incomplete.

Major volunteer jobs

Coaches, assistant coaches, and referees are needed every season. We cannot have games without them. We realize that most new volunteers have little to no experience related to soccer so we provide great training to get them started.
