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!
