Announcements

- eAYSO helpful tutorials now available. Starting with the Fall 2007 season, all volunteers must register with the National eAYSO database before they can be accepted into service of the region. The board members must similarly be registered by May 2007. This is independent of our registration and use of Web Youth Soccer.

- Golden Gate Camp: 13-15 July 2007; St Mary's College, Moraga, CA.
Advanced coach and referee courses taught in a secluded, weekend setting with peers and senior instructors. One day management courses also available (easy 1 hour drive from Los Altos).
Referees can also consider travel to Southern California for the Ken Aston Camps two weekend's later instead.

- National Meeting: 25-27 May 2007; New Orleans, LA (as planned for 2006 originally!)
- Section 2 (Northwestern US) Meeting: 23-25 March 2007; Grand Sierra Resort, Reno , NV . Need more training? Want to learn more about AYSO? Includes Instructor training. More info.

2005 Board Archive

2004 Board Archive

The Board of Parents generally meets once a month on the first Wednesday starting at 8:00PM at Castro Commons, Bldg 1 Conference Room, 1174 Castro Street, Mountain View, CA. We also host the Area 2A meeting there on the third Wednesday of every month at 7:30 PM as well. Thanks to Dr. Vivien D'Andrea of Camino Medical Group for providing this space for the meetings.

The meeting at the beginning of June is the annual meeting where new officers are inducted (elections are held at the meeting in May). The June meeting is generally a dinner meeting to thank the outgoing members and welcome the incoming parents. The board generally does not meet in December or January as the Volunteer Appreciation Party is roughly at the same time and we take a breather before starting preparations for the next Fall season.

Email Archive and List

Since 2003, the board has used an email list to communicate important messages and decisions about its operation to each other. To better serve the parent board and the community, as of the Fall 2007 season, we have moved this list to be an archived and public message board using Yahoo Groups as the underlying engine. You access the list through our server and can now automatically subscribe or unsubscribe to the communications. To prevent SPAM'ers from broadcasting to the list, the list is moderated by the Executive Board. Note that you must unblock email from yahoogroups.com to receive messages from this new list. The list name will change each year to reduce unsolicited messages that the moderators have to process and throw-out.

Overview

Any AYSO region is run by a board of parents and volunteers who then elect their regional commissioner and other key officers. The regional commissioner is an officer in the national AYSO organization and elects the officials from the local Area Director on up to the President and National Board; along with approving any rule changes in the organization. The National board must also approve the elected regional commissioner. It all starts here locally and is mostly focused on local operations. All the other positions are there to support the local regions. There is more information in our "About Us" page entitled the ABC's of AYSO

All board meetings, activities, and finances are open to the public as much as possible. Only privacy concerns for volunteer and child welfare override this. If you do not find what you are looking for on this website, inquire with the regional commissioner.
