Area G and Area G regions honored

Area G and these regions were recently honored at the AYSO Section 8 annual conference near Traverse City. Of the more than 100 regions attending the March section meeting, 37 areas and regions were honored
For organizational purposes, AYSO is divided into Sections, which is further divided into Areas, which are then divided into regions.

Area G AYSO promotes Kids Zone
There is sometimes confusion over what "Kids Zone" means in reference to AYSO.
The Kids Zone program was created in response to concerns that sometimes youth sports have become negative--even violent--in the past.
It is a gentle reminder that while competition is important, ultimately AYSO is about the kids.
Kids play sports are to have fun, make new friends and learn new skills. As coaches, parents and volunteers, we need to keep sport in its proper perspective and support them.
That means redefining what it is to be a “Winner.”
A Winner is more than just scoring the goal or beating the other team; a winner is someone who makes maximum effort, continues to learn and improve, and does not let mistakes, or fear of making mistakes, stop him or her.
AYSO is a nationwide non-profit organization that develops and delivers quality youth soccer programs in a fun, family environment based on AYSO's Five Philosophies:
Everyone Plays
At least half of every game
Open Registration
AYSO has sign-ups, not try-outs. As long as there is space on a team, every child who signs up will play.
Balanced Teams
Skilled/talented players are evenly distributed among all teams in a league to promote balanced competition.
Positive Coaching
AYSO believes in building soccer skills and self-worth through encouragement and teaching.
Good Sportsmanship
AYSO has active programs to promote positive behavior on the field and on the sidelines.
Area G lies within Section 8 of AYSO and includes 10 local regions:
Grand Blanc AYSO (Region 169):
Flushing AYSO (Region 283);
Fenton / Linden AYSO (region 417);
Swartz Creek AYSO (Region 512);
Carmen Ainsworth (Region 766);
Byron Durand Gaines (Region 814);
Montrose AYSO (Region 821);
Holly-Davisburg (Region 823);
New Lothrop AYSO (Region 1155);
Birch Run AYSO (Region 1481)
These regions serve nearly 4,000 players ages 4 1/2 through 18 and are staffed and run entirely by volunteer coaches, referees and administrators.
There is sometimes confusion over what "Kids Zone" means in reference to AYSO.
