Minors as Volunteers

Minors in Coaching Positions

Players 12 years of age and older are welcome to volunteer as assistant coaches but may not act as a team's head coach. In addition, a minor must be three years older than the age group they are helping to coach. The minor is to be encouraged to help with all coaching activities and should be allowed to be actively involved. In the event that the head coach cannot make a game or practice, an approved and Safe Haven-trained adult must be present and actively participating with the team. The trained adult must take responsibility for the team and all aspects of the game and practice. Minors must also take the Safe Haven course so that they gain an understanding of the policies.

Minors as Referees

Players aged 10 and over are invited to volunteer as referees. Youth referees have the same rights and responsibilities as adult referees. That is, they are responsible for the game from the time they enter the field until they leave. Youth referees complete the same training and receive the same mentoring as adult referees.

Becoming a referee is a great way for any serious player to improve his or her knowlege of the game of soccer. Understaning the laws, as referees must, and knowing how the referees see the game can really help a U14 or U19 player take their game to the next level.

Special Rules for APS Fields

From time to time AYSO teams interfere with after-school programs. In all cases, the school program comes first. They usually end at 5:00 and we can use the fields after that. Under no circumstances should any AYSO coach tell an APS group to vacate the field or move.

Baseball Backstops at Fields

Our agreement with the City includes a compromise with baseball (Little League, etc.). If your practice field has a backstop, it may be occupied in the Spring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday by a baseball team. If that happens, your practice needs to be switched to Tuesday/Thursday. If this doesn't work for you and you need to move, check the practice field program for other options.

Albuquerque Park and APS Facilities Rules and Restrictions

Albuquerque City Field Usage Rules

The following rules apply to City Parks and APS Facilities:

  1. No practicing in the goal mouths - no putting up nets on goals. Violation of this could lead to your removal from the park.
  2. Pick up trash after all games and practices. Please take your trash with you so that you don't over fill the trash cans at the parks.
  3. Do not park in driveways or bolck mail box deliveries. Be respectful of neighborhoods surrounding the fields.
  4. Park on the park side of the street first before parking in front of the neighbors' houses.
  5. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in City parks. Glass containers are not allowed in City parks.
  6. Never ask park residents for water or to use their bathrooms.
  7. Keep dogs leashed at all times. Clean up after your pets.
  8. Discontinue play in lightning, heavy rain or when there is standing water on the field.
  9. Soccer and football teams should play in the middle of the field. T-ball teams should remain in the corners of the fields.
  10. Be respectful of other teams on the field, sharing is mandatory.
  11. If an APS field is being watered during your practice or game time, Please - do not attempt to circumvent the watering system. This has been done in the past by others (not AYSO), resulting in the loss of the field and several thousand dollars worth of damage.
  12. If there are other teams on your field, try to share equally whether they are AYSO teams or teams from other leagues.

If you have any questions, please contact the Park Coordinator.
