All AYSO volunteers MUST register once per year (school year) in AYSO's national system called eAYSO. The eAYSO system is totally separate from our local region management system called WebYouthSoccer (volunteers must be in both WebYouthSoccer and eAYSO).

Why eAYSO? Because:

• eAYSO is used to do all volunteer background checks.
  
• AYSO needs your social security number and driver's license number to do background checks. This sensitive information is very secure in eAYSO -- only the few people in AYSO's national office who do background checks have access to these key identifiers.
  
• AYSO and your Region need to be able to contact volunteers with important information throughout the season.
• You want AYSO to remember what training you have completed so you need take it only once regardless of which AYSO program you join anywhere in the world.
  
• The US Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 as well as AYSO insurance and legal resources can only protect you and us if you are a registered volunteer in AYSO.

To Register using eAYSO you must do ALL of the following (read carefully!):

1. Please note that you need to register as a volunteer only ONCE per AYSO year. The AYSO year runs from August 1st to July 31st. If you are already registered for the current "member year", you need not register again. If you volunteered with a different region for the current member year but are now volunteering in our region, please contact cvpa@ayso64.org and ask to get your volunteer record transferred to our region. If you are not already registered, please continue with these instructions.
   
   
2. Get out your Driver License.
   
   
3. Go to http://eayso.org.
   
   
4. If you already have an eAYSO account
• Log in
  
• Choosing one of the following from the right hand column and follow its instructions:
  
• Apply as a new adult volunteer
• Apply as a continuing adult volunteer
• Apply as a new youth volunteer
• Apply as a continuing youth volunteer
  
  
5. If you don't have an eAYSO account, create a new account by clicking the "I am new to AYSO and want to volunteer" button and follow the instructions. Do not register your kids in eAYSO as we use WebYouthSoccer for this. Make sure you record and remember your user name and password!!!
   
   
6. Make sure you:
   
• Specify the correct region -- we are Region 64 in West San Jose.
• Use your exact legal name as it appears on your Driver License.
• If you have a first name you commonly use, put it into the AKA/Nickname field.
• Make sure your paper mail address, phone number, and email address are accurate. Otherwise you will create extra work for many other volunteers in our region. (!!!)
• Finish the entire process all the way through to the very end. Don't close any windows or forms until you are brought back to the main menu. Read carefully.
  
  
7. When your online registration is complete, print 1 paper copy of your registration form if you need to have it for in person or mail-in player registration. Region 64 now uses eSign so you need not sign the paper copy. Print or save an extra copy if you wish to keep one for your records.
   
   
8. If you are a new volunteer you must bring this form in person with your Driver's License to a Region 64 Registration Event, Board Meeting, Referee Meeting/Training or Coach Meeting/Training. One of the registration people or board members will verify your picture, license number, license expiration date, first & last name, signature, volunteer role, and that everything else has been properly filled in on your form. This volunteer will accept your paperwork and turn it over to our region's CVPA (Child and Volunteer Protection Advocate) who will complete the volunteer registration process. Please note that our UK Coaches cannot accept volunteer forms nor can instructors at other regions -- you must give your form to a Region 64 official.
   
   In certain situations our CVPAs may be able to register you electronically if you email them a picture of your driver's license after you submit your eAYSO application -- in which case no paper is needed.
   
   
9. If you are a returning volunteer who was fully registered in eAYSO in an earlier year (you can see your volunteer history from previous years in eAYSO), you may
   
   • bring your form to any of the above events, or 
   • send an email to CVPA@ayso64.org letting them know you have reapplied, or
     
   • mail your printed form to:
     AYSO 64
     Attention: CVPA
     6172 Bollinger Road, Suite 64
     San Jose, CA 95129
     
     
10. Wait a week or 2 until our CVPA has finished processing your form.
    

Issues that often occur:

• You filled out a form in WebYouthSoccer but not eAYSO.
• You filled out a volunteer application for a region other than Region 64.
  
• You forgot to have your driver's license verified by a Region 64 official (see step 8 above).
  
• Your name on your driver's license does not exactly match the name in eAYSO.
• Your name in eAYSO does not match your name in WebYouthSoccer -- use the nick name field in both to specify what people normally call you. We need legal names in both systems so our records match.
  

Thank you for volunteering and thank you for finishing this process so that you, our kids, our region, and AYSO can be kept safe and well organized!
