RoadShow Goals & Objectives

Vision Statement:

A well-trained member is a contented member, and a contented member is a returning member. The AYSO experience is improved for all when there is an ample supply of contented members.

Purpose

The AYSO RoadShow is a nationwide AYSO training initiative that will kick off beginning in January, 2010. It will focus on improving the quality of the AYSO experience by increasing the knowledge and skills of AYSO's members. Each Section will organize a schedule for the delivery of a broad array of existing AYSO curriculum through their traditional means. The national budget and nationally designated personnel will then be used to support delivery of additional local training opportunities, including instructor training, in each Section, especially in geographic areas that are under‐served. The name “AYSO RoadShow” is intended to describe the totality of AYSO's training efforts nationwide.
