Our goal is to see the purpose of this organization returned. We truly wish to see the children as the center of our program, the families as our focus and the support of and for our community our desire. Our hope is to select leadership that will remember why this organization was started.
From the national organization:
Our vision: To develop world class soccer programs that enrich children's lives.
Our mission: To develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs, which promote a fun, family environment based on our six AYSO philosophies: Open Registration, Balanced Teams, Everyone Plays, Good Sportsmanship, Positive Coaching, Player Development.
This request is given in order to give the region back to its members who feel as though the region has been run in such a way that it is a detriment to the children, families, and communities that support it. We, the members of AYSO Region 515 want to see the program given back to its members.
As members we feel it is our duty to make our voice heard and want know that we have an option to speak up for the programs and the children currently enrolled in programs within AYSO region 515. We do not support, nor do we condone the methods which the current RC is using to run programs within the region. In fact, as the members of the region we feel as though these methods are damaging to the children, families, and the communities that the region currently supports.
The current regional administration’s practices have caused huge amounts of unrest, discomfort, and many unhappy members resulting in a 12% loss of membership in the last year (from membership year 2012-2013 to membership year 2013-2014). We feel that as long as the current RC remains the membership will continue to decline. This leadership has also resulted in the loss of key board members as well as multiple volunteers and is sure to lead to more.

I have been hearing from so many of you who feel the same frustration about the direction of our local program. It is clear that we all want to return to a environment where the kids come first and the experience remains fun for every family.

Seeing this kind of movement in our community confirms that I am not the only one mourning the loss of the values our kids deserve. It is clear that we are all ready for a return to the true mission of this organization.

The kids need to be our focus in AYSO. I'm sad to say that this focus has been lost. I have seen the loss of kids and coaches due to the mismanagement of the current administration. Unless things change, my older children will not be returning and my younger ones will not be joining.
I believe there would be more volunteers if they was a different director. It is evident through what is happening at the girls that the program in Los Lunas is really getting bad. Ï really is time for a change in direction.
Because you cannot cheer for the children anymore without being harassed.
Because we beat your team
Thank you for your opinion but I disagree and still stand behind the region and is volunteers. My children, along with countless others, are benefiting from the time and dedication of the volunteers of AYSO 515. Because of the negativity and controversy surrounding this petition it is actually hurting the kids! Turn this around and be part of a solution, figure out a way to help!
I am still proud to be part of AYSO 515 and will continue supporting the organization and it's volunteers! This does NOT represent all families in this organization!
Were you run off? If so why?

I have had my child in AYSO for the last 2 years and I can tell the moral has really gone down. Not only that becaue the loss of kids this year teams sometime do not have enough players. I feel like we can't go out and enjoy ourselves and root for our children because they have take the fun out of it. This need to be for the kids, to teach them sportmanship, team building, leadership and to enjoy the game. How can we will it feels like all the good coaches and volunteers are being pushed out. Please for the kids give ud back THE OLD Region 515
