Dear Parents

Operations are currently suspended in AYSO Region 86, Laguna Beach until further notice due to a lack of volunteerism.  In order to continue to provide a reasonable, cost effective, recreational soccer program in Laguna Beach, we need a groups of parent volunteers willing to rebuild our Region's program and act as Board of Directors.  In particular, the Region cannot operate without a Regional Commissioner (RC).  The following seven (7) positions (below) are required by any AYSO Region.  The only fast requirement is that the Regional Commissioner and the Treasurer cannot be the same person or be from the same household.  Other than that, the same person can fill multiple rolls.   If you feel you can be part of the solution, please contact (Email) our Area Director at [email protected] and also send Email to [email protected].  AYSO provides excellent training in all areas as described below for each volunteer position.
