Area G AYSO promotes Kids Zone PDF Print E-mail

ayso kids zoneThere 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.

 Area G is cooperating with Area F in cross area games for our older divisions. Area F regions participating in this venture include

Clio  (Region 476)

Davison (Region 721)

Frankenmuth (Region 771)

Keasley Bentley (Region 817)

Millington (Region 1215)

Mt Morris (Region 851)
