Who/What Exactly Is a Town Coordinator? 

Here is a quick checklist of Town Coordinators' kuleanas: 

Support Coaches and Team Parents: 

• The games cannot be played without coaches. Once there are coach volunteers teams can be created. Coaches also will need the support of a team parent to hep organize and communicate with the players and players families. 
  
  
• It is the role of each Town Coordinator to communicate clearly to all coaches all pertinent information and changes throughout the season. 

Create Team Rosters: 

• Teams are created through the online database (Sports Connect) for AYSO Region 403. Rosters adhere to AYSO's 6 philosophies in order to create balanced teams and for every player to play.
   
• Coordinators create rosters through the database which includes players' names, ohana, and contact information. Coordinators distribute rosters to each coach. Coaches inform Town Coordinators of any challenges or difficulties such as withdrawals, cancellations or other circumstances causing a player to not to join a team. If there is a name on the waitlist, Town Coordinators may added them to the team. 
  
  
• Coordinators communicate and inform the Registrar of changes to rosters.

Reserve Fields: 

• Reserve fields in your town’s park by communicating and collaborating with the County of Hawaii’s Parks & Recreation Divisions, Recreation Director your town. 
  AYSO is insured by utilizing the County parks as their main fields. We cannot just use any field. 
  
  
• Determine the Field Reservations for practices during the week. 
  Assure that each age group and each team has enough space and time to practice. 
  
  
• Reserve fields for games on Saturdays for the duration of the season, from August-November. 

Uniforms & Equipment: 

• Coordinators distribute uniforms and equipment to coaches at the beginning of the season. 

Coordinate Field Crews: 

• Coordinators line all of the fields, according to AYSO regulations. Field dimensions are available in the AYSOU’s library of resources. 
  
  
• Coordinators communicate with Field Crews the appropriate times to set up and break down the fields, and agree to a proper storage area for all goals, flags, cones, balls, etc.  

Work with the Referee Coordinator: 

• Coordinators collaborate with the Referee Coordinator to assure that Referees are at each 10U, 12U, and 14U game.

Scheduling: 

• Coordinators assist with the schedule of games, holiday weekends, and end of season celebration.
   
• Once finalized, Coordinators distribute the schedule with Coaches. 

Other Roles: 

• Coordinators are the liaison in their town that will communicate, direct, and manage situations that may arise or require additional support or input from the Regional Commissioner or Section Directors. 
  
  
•  We must work closely and collaboratively with our town partners, fellow Town Coordinators, and board members to make the season successful.
