Everyone Lends a Hand
Ever look at our volunteer coaches and referees and think, “Good for them, but definitely not for me”? We completely understand! But did you know that some of our most important roles happen entirely off the field? It takes all kinds of talents to support our soccer league, and we have a place for everyone.
Region 13 is looking for new Volunteers to serve on our Board. Each position presents a range of opportunities and rewards, and each is essential to making our upcoming Fall season a success.

Women’s Coaching Alliance (WCA)—Applications Open!
Region 13 is proud to continue its partnership with the Women’s Coaching Alliance (WCA). The WCA’s program serves young women athletes in their formative years (ages 15-26) and builds their foundational leadership skills and confidence through coaching youth sports. Throughout her journey, a WCA coach is supported by a mentor, a community of peers, and an evidence-based curriculum, so she not only sees her potential to lead but also has the confidence to achieve it. Even better, by increasing female representation, a virtuous cycle begins, inspiring the next generation.
Learn to be a coach through the program with great training, practical application through coaching a team this fall, mentorship, and a stipend. |

Letter from the Commissioner
Hello everyone, What a busy month! As anyone with school-age children knows, the goal in May is pretty much survival. Making it through all of the school performances, open houses, and final exams takes a lot of stamina. But it’s also the culmination of a year of exploration and effort by our young people, and therefore a time to celebrate them. We are so proud of all of our kids’ efforts, whether on the soccer field, in the classroom, or on a commencement stage.
For AYSO, May is also our Early Registration month for the Fall season, so be sure to sign up now. And remember, Region 13 has a “pay-what-you-can” model—no one is turned away for financial reasons. We have almost 1500 kids already signed up! It’s going to be a great Fall season!
Do you have questions about the upcoming season? Tomorrow evening, May 20, at 7pm, I’ll be on an open Zoom call to answer all your questions about registration, the fall season, and AYSO in general. It’s an open discussion for everyone; there’s no planned presentation. So please feel free to hop on that call to get all your questions answered, comments conveyed, and opinions on the record. I hope to see you there!
— Patrick Shopbell, your volunteer RC
p.s. Have you seen our new website? It is now live, making it easier than ever to stay informed, register, and connect with everything happening in our region. Thank you to our volunteer communications team, Matthew and Bret, for all of their hard work.
