It is vital that we receive each team’s information so that your team can get proper credit. Please take a moment to fill out the referee form with the names of the referee(s) who will be volunteering for your team. Please have your referee volunteer(s) sign their name on the form and turn it in at the referee tent. Place it in the referee scheduler folder in the board member mailbox.
ALL PARENTS on a team must sign the post season invitational tournament and Area Fall League Playoff qualification form stating their understanding of the point system.
Walnut AYSO is a volunteer organization; we encourage all parents to participate in your snack bar/field crew assignments, and please try to encourage your parents to attend the referee courses. This is another excellent way to learn the game of soccer better, to volunteer, and make new friends!
