How to Volunteer

All volunteers must complete a Volunteer Application every year, and submit a background check request.  Skokie AYSO will pay for the background check.

To start the process, you must login or create an account.  Click the Login button in the top right of this page, you can also create an account here if you do not already have one.  If you've already had a background check during this membership year (e.g. you were a volunteer coach in the fall, and are signing up for spring) you will not need another background check.  

After you log in, click on the Volunteer tab on the left of the page, and then click the FIND VOLUNTEER ROLES button.  You can either volunteer to be a coach or team parent in your child's program and division, or you can sign up to referee or be a board member or other volunteer in the "Volunteer Registration - MYXX" program.

Make sure you e-sign the volunteer application; applications that are not e-signed will not be processed.  At the end of the registration process you will be given the option to complete the background check.  Please do this now, waiting for later only delays your appointment.  

Once you're registered, every volunteer will need to complete some basic training classes.  Job-specific training may be available for your volunteer role, but everyone must complete two classes: AYSO Safe Haven, and the CDC Concussion Awareness training (class titles may change periodically).  To do this, follow the directions below.  Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
