Kentwood AYSO is 100% volunteer run. We would like to have a head coach, assistant coach, and team parent for every team. We’re also in need of additional referees and many other positions. Please consider volunteering. It takes a community! Thank you!

To sign up to volunteer, you must log into the system, click on the “Volunteer” tab, and then the “Find Volunteer Roles” tab.
Refund Policy
The $25 annual AYSO National Membership fee and the processing fee are not refundable. The remaining registration fee is fully refundable up until a week before the first day of practice.
Waiting List
If your child is on a wait list, placement on a team is not guaranteed. We do our best to place as many players from the list as possible. Children are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. We are always looking for more coaches and referees. Volunteering to ref or coach your child’s team will greatly improve their chances of getting placed on a team. Registration for the wait list is free, but make sure you follow through all the way though the free checkout. If your child is placed on a team, you will receive an email with instructions to log into your account and pay the registration fee.
