Building A Floating Soccer Field - An Inspirational Video

Back in 1986, a group of Thai kids were so inspired by the '86 FIFA World Cup, they decided to take up the sport. But there was a serious problem—the kids lived on the Southern Thai island of Koh Panyee, a tiny fisherman village built on stilts with no room for soccer fields, let alone soil as used in the typical soccer field. So the kids built a floating soccer pitch from scraps of wood and fishing rafts, and are now one of the most successful youth soccer clubs in Southern Thailand.

Volunteers Needed!!!
AYSO is an all volunteer organization. And, we could always use an additional volunteer. Right now, our needs include coaches, referees, and a registrar (someone to enter the registration forms into the database, etc). AYSO will provide all the required training - FREE! And, if you volunteer to be a referee, we provide the cool uniforms too - FREE - what a deal. You're payment will be in the smiles on the childrens faces. So, to learn more, please come to one of the registration sessions listed above, or contact our Regional Commissioner.
