Division Points to Qualify
U10 26
U12 33
U14 40
•Points are earned primarily by refereeing games. Other
ways to earn points for Beach Cup qualification include:
•Recruiting New Referees (up to 3 points per new
referee) – Teams will be awarded one bonus point for each
new referee that attends Regional Referee training and
referees one game. One additional bonus point can be
earned for refereeing a second and third game, to a
maximum of three points per new referee. These points
are earned in addition to normal referee match points
•Volunteer as Snack Bar Auxiliary (15 points) - This
involves working 20 hours (5 four-hour shifts). Snack bar
auxiliary is a snack bar management position that requires
supervising incoming snack bar volunteers. It does not
replace snack bar volunteer duty.
•Field Monitor (points TBD) - This involves standing in front
of AVS, Tulita and AVP to make sure no food or drink
(other than water) goes onto the field.

Player Parent Pledge

Parent Player Pledge
1. Attend and participate in team parent meetings as requested.
2. Be on time or early when dropping off or picking up my child for training or games.
3. Ensure my child is supported and encouraged by family or loved ones at games.
4. Encourage my child to have fun and keep soccer in its proper perspective.
5. Define winning for my child as doing his/her very best and appreciate Development over

7. Honor the game and show respect for all involved including coaches, players, opponents,
spectators and referees.
8. Applaud and encourage players from both teams. DO NOT yell out instructions (as this
causes confusion to the players and ultimately hinders development).
9. Refrain from making negative comments about the game, coaches, referees or players,
especially from the sidelines.
10. Encourage others to refrain from negative or abusive sideline behavior.
11. As parents, keep the game in perspective for our children (as a pastime, sport, fun, exercise,
personal development).
12. Abide by the tenets of Kids Zone for appropriate sideline behavior and support AYSO’s
philosophies for enriching children’s lives.
Parent Pledge
In my words and my actions, I pledge to:
Parent Player Pledge
1. Play for the sake of playing the game, not just to please a parent or coach.
2. Always give my best effort and work as hard for my teammates as I do for myself.
3. Treat all players as I would like to be treated.
4. Be a team player.
5. Be a good sport and support good plays whether they are made by my team or my opponents.
6. Abide by the Laws of the Game.
7. Cooperate with my coaches, teammates, opponents and the referee.
8. Never argue with or complain about referee calls or decisions.
9. Control my temper when I feel I have been wronged.
10. Not use offensive or abusive language.
11. Remember that the object of the game is to win, but the goal is to enjoy myself, improve my
skills and give my best effort.
Player Pledge
In my words and my actions I pledge to:
Friendly reminder….
