Kids Zone

In recent months, the national media has focused on the negative, even violent, behavior of players,
coaches and parents involved in youth sports. In a proactive effort to counteract this trend of violence,
AYSO has a program called Kids Zone. (Read about the history of Kids Zone here.)

As part of AYSO's education agenda, Kids Zone is a dynamic program targeted to eliminate negative
sideline behavior. It is aimed toward producing a thoroughly positive impact on everyone involved in youth
soccer. To execute this program, four basic elements are involved:

The Button. This is a pin-on button bearing the program's logo. This will be worn by program
supporters at games, and will serve as a reminder of the importance of positive sideline behavior.
The Sign. A large sideline poster, which lists positive behavior standards, designed to be posted
at the entrance of participating fields. Parents and spectators who will abide by these standards are
welcome -- all others are not.
The Pledge. We will request AYSO parents to sign a pledge that holds them to the Kids Zone standards.
The Video. This is a 12 minute documentary that introduces AYSO's principles and its Kids Zone
action plan to new participants. Viewers will also watch a parent intervene to change another parent's
negative behavior. CLICK HERE to see it!

In order to make this program work, we need your help!
