In AYSO, we want all players, coaches, families and volunteers to have fun. That’s where Kids Zone® comes in. Kids Zone® is a program that encourages fans on the sidelines, and anyone else near the play, to use positive language, show sportsmanship in their attitude and behavior, and create a great experience for every player. It’s a reminder that the soccer fields are a kid’s zone – a friendly, happy, wholesome place for children to play.
Here are a couple of reminders to help everyone have a great season...
AYSO Kids Zone® signs are posted throughout Glendening Park asking you to agree to the following guidelines before you enter:
- Kids are #1
- Fun - not winning - is everything
- Fans only cheer, and only coaches coach
- No yelling in anger
- Respect the volunteer referees
- No swearing
- No smoking
- Leave no trash behind
- Set a proper example for our children
Parents and guardians can help their child become a better player by following AYSO's Code of Conduct:
Support Your Child

Remember: Your Child Wants To Have Fun

Don't Be A Sideline Coach Or Referee
