OUR REGION DEFINED
Our local AYSO Region is one of more than 900 local programs in communities world wide. Region 1007 primarily serves the communities of Deerfield, Riverwoods, Bannockburn. Region 1007 belongs to Section 6, Area D in AYSO’s national structure. Section 6 covers Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, eastern Iowa and Upper Michigan. Area D is composed of AYSO regions serving Deerfield and the following communities:
Morton Grove, Skokie, Highland Park, Glenview, Evanston, Glencoe, Winnetka, Rolling Meadows, Chicago - Rogers Park/Lincoln Park areas.
Each Region
is organized under the same Bylaws and Rules and Regulations, which standardize
operational procedures, and playing rules, however, because community needs may
be different, Regions have the flexibility to satisfy their unique needs.
Our Regional Commissioner and the Regional Board of Directors meet
once a month (normally the 2nd Monday of each month at the Jewett Park Community
Center at 7:30pm) and perhaps more often for pre-season planning. As a parent of an
AYSO player - and hopefully a volunteer! - You are welcome and encouraged
to attend these meetings. In fact, it is dedicated volunteers, parents just like
yourself, who work to ensure our program is running effectively and that the
AYSO Philosophies are upheld... and of course, to make sure the kids are having
fun, who manage our Region.
Our Region publishes on our web site a Regional Handbook with our policies fully defined. The Handbook may cover everything from rainout procedures and practice routines, to important telephone numbers.
It is also important to remember that we are an affiliate of and very closely aligned with our local Deerfield Park District.
Get to know your child's coaches and other parents. Volunteer your
time and talents to make our Region run well and both you and your child will
benefit from the AYSO experience.
