Player Information

What is the AYSO Kid Zone?

Kids Zone means just what the sign says...the game is for the kids and not the adults. Everyone just needs to remember and follow these simple guidelines when attending an AYSO-sponsored event.

Kids are #1
Fun, not winning, is everything.
Fans only cheer and only coaches coach.
No yelling in anger.
Respect the volunteer referees.
No swearing.
No smoking.
Leave no trash behind.
Set a proper example for our children.

Health and Safety

All players, coaches, referees and parents are responsible for the safety of all AYSO soccer participants. Safety First
is the motto that everyone must learn to live by.

Goal Safety
Players should never climb or swing on goals or nets. Goals can fall over and cause injury or death.

Hydration
Players (and other volunteers too!) should drink lots of liquids BEFORE starting a practice session or game, preferably the night before.
If a player is already thirsty when play begins, they are already behind on hydration and may become dehydrated quickly,
especially on very hot, humid days. Water and sports drinks are best to replenish bodily fluids and much needed nutrients.

Jewelry and Watches
All players must remove any jewelry, watches, etc. before the start of game. This is to prevent injury to that player
or other players in the game. [More info]

Proper Equipment
Players must wear the proper field shoes (with or without grass cleats) and shin guards at all times. Shin guards
are to be worn next to the players skin and then covered with soccer-style socks that completely cover the entire
shin guard. Players should also use an age-appropriate sized ball to prevent injuries. [More info]

Illness or Injury
All AYSO or non-AYSO injuries or extended illnesses (greater than 2 weeks) must be reported to the Safety Director through your coach. This is to ensure that all players are healthy and eligible to play soccer.

Soccer Accident Insurance
All registered players, coaches, assistant coaches, referees, and volunteers are covered by soccer accident insurance.

AYSO Soccer Camps


AYSO Soccer Camps are returning to Diamond Head AYSO Region 48.

AYSO Community Day Camps create an environment that is fun and conducive to learning for all ages and levels of ability, and does it on the fields the kids already know and love.

With solid grounding in AYSO’s philosophies and coaching programs, AYSO Soccer Camps works with kids on skills and activities appropriate to their age and skill level.

AYSO Soccer Camps are conducted by the best nationally and internationally trained coaches recruited and trained by UK International Soccer Camps.

UK International was established in 1990. Since that time, they have developed an excellent reputation and have become one of the largest providers of soccer instruction within the Western United States. UK International coaches are primarily from Great Britain and have been specially selected for their expertise in teaching children the game of soccer.

UK International Soccer Camps are the only organization whose coaches are safe haven certified, qualified AYSO Coach Instructors and trained in AYSO philosophies. With their firsthand knowledge and experience with the latest soccer training methods and styles, these camp coaches are selected not only for their knowledge and their coaching ability, but also for their commitment to creating a fun, positive learning environment for the players. The result is a soccer camp experience players will remember for a lifetime.

The AYSO Soccer Camp curriculum has been developed by AYSO in conjunction with some of the highest-level camp trainers in the country, and is approved by AYSO National Coach John Ouellette. From fun introductory sessions for the youngest players, to intensive technical and tactical sessions for advanced players, AYSO Soccer Camps match players of various ages and skill levels to ensure that each player experiences just the right mix of fun and skill development.

All camp sessions are based on individual attention to ball skills, as well as fun games to put those skills into practice and develop teamwork. We encourage all players to express themselves in order to develop confidence and individual creativity on the field.

Team Camps are also available and are a great opportunity to create a customized curriculum for the benefit of your team, pre season. The aim of the program is to create an environment conducive to both individual and team development, ensuring your team has “The Best Possible Soccer Experience”... Each coach has the opportunity to customize the content of their team camp, ensuring that your players get the necessary development relevant to them. The AYSO/UK International Soccer Camps coach responsible for your team camp will meet with you prior to the commencement of the program thus guaranteeing a focused, week long camp. Call 888-857-6222 for details.


Hosting a UK Soccer Coach is a truly rewarding and enjoyable experience as well as being somewhat of a cultural exchange. The coach has the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the real American lifestyle, whilst the host families benefit by learning about the British way of life, its cultural differences and enhancing their soccer education. The similarities and differences of our language, combined with the love of soccer ensure a memorable week and long lasting friendships for everyone.
