AYSO Reference Book

“Show me where it says……”

The staff at the National Support & Training Center (NSTC) has compiled this AYSO Reference Book so that members might have a single resource to learn about AYSO Bylaws, policies, procedures, guidelines and operating principles. 

The book has been rearranged so that the organization’s governing documents appear first, followed by chapters that describe other aspects of running an AYSO program.  The book is printed annually in January.  Updates will always be posted to this page of the AYSO Web site as they occur.

Members should consult this page periodically to ensure they are always referring to the latest information. 

The material contained in this edition of the AYSO Reference Book reflects up to date information as of August 1, 2006.
