Recreation Soccer Depends on Parent-Volunteers 

ALSO is a volunteer-run organization that relies on parents to fill the roles of Head Coach, Assistant Coach and Team Manager. The existence and ultimate success of your child’s team will depend upon parent volunteers for the Head Coach, Assistant Coach and Team Manager positions. Please consider volunteering to fill one of these essential positions for your child’s team. If your child’s team cannot fill these essential parent-volunteer positions, ALSO will be forced to cancel your child’s team. 

The Avon Lake recreational soccer program is intended as an introductory level of soccer for our youngest players and those that may not be interested in a higher level of competition at the Travel  level:

• Registration typically begins in July and ends in August.
