We have compiled a list of board positions that we need to make our region run smoother. There are a lot of reasons to volunteer for these positions—you get to know what's happening in the region earlier than most parents, you become an advocate for all the children in AYSO and well, it's fun! We're going to add one more thing to that list: Board Scholarships. Every ACTIVE board member will pay only $25 per child to play AYSO soccer.
