Volunteer Points
Fall 2024 volunteer points overview and information.
AYSO is powered by volunteers. Volunteer points are used to encourage volunteers to participate during the season. The main part of volunteer points is to expand our pool of referees in AYSO Simi and ensure our all-volunteer league continues to run smoothly. We are also developing a Core of volunteers as dedicated field assistants, and to help with tasks outside of the team requirement of setting up and tearing down the field.
Additionally, our 10U and 12U teams will be assigned one additional game approximately just one time per season to play with our VIP (kids and adults with special needs) teams. This will be at the Foundation Fields.

Each team is given an equal opportunity to earn all 12 points. The points are clearly grouped, and each grouping of points can ONLY be earned in that capacity.

Referee Points
Referee points may be earned by a referee associated with your team. You may have as many referees as you can recruit! They must be AYSO certified and do all safety training and register as a volunteer. You may earn one (1) point per game refereed. Coaches may not referee their own games. All referees must check in with the tent volunteers/board members prior to their game. Games are available for referee sign ups, if you sign up for a game, please be committed to your time slot. If you need to drop or change your time slot, please reach out to referee staff ASAP, repeated no-shows for referees WILL result in NEGATIVE points. If your U12 player would like to referee, we love youth volunteers, and they can referee for U10 games! (MAX 10 Points).
Field Day Points
Field day points may be earned only on field day by adults associated with your team. Each adult that comes to field day may be counted for one team only. If 90% or more of your team comes, you will receive a bonus point for field day! Volunteers need to check in with a board member with the player’s name and division (or birth year) to get your points. Once volunteers check in, they will be assigned a group to do various things needed to prepare for the season. (MAX 2 Points).
