Welcome to KIDS ZONE!
AYSO
¾
A Kids Zone
In
recent months, the national media has focused on the negative, even violent,
behavior of players, coaches and parents involved in youth sports. In a
proactive effort to counteract this trend of violence, AYSO is initiating a
program called Kids Zone.
As
part of AYSO’s education agenda, Kids Zone is a dynamic program targeted to
eliminate negative sideline behavior. It is aimed toward producing a thoroughly
positive impact on everyone involved in youth soccer. To execute this program,
three basic elements are involved:
1.
The Badge.
This is a pin-on badge bearing the program’s logo. This will be worn by
program supporters at games, and will serve as a reminder of the importance of positive
sideline behavior.
2. The Sign. A large sign at the sideline, which lists positive behavior standards, will be posted at the entrance of participating fields. Parents and spectators who will abide by these standards are welcome ¾ all others are not.
3.
The Pledge.
We will request that AYSO parents sign a pledge that holds them
to the Kids Zone standards (click
here for a copy of the Kids Zone Parent Pledge).
In
order to make this program work, we need your help!
