What is VIP? AYSO’s programs allow every child to enjoy the benefits of soccer, regardless of ability or circumstances, and to get the utmost benefit at every level from beginner to expert. Very Important Player (VIP) VIP is a special program is for players facing special mental and/or physical challenges. The program has special rule allowances so more children can enjoy the benefits of AYSO soccer. VIP teams may include children who are blind, amputees, mentally challenged, autistic, and children with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, or other conditions that impair mobility, strength, and/or comprehension. VIP programs operate within the existing structure of a Region, just like a Division. VIP integrates its players with the rest of AYSO by using “buddies” from other teams (or siblings, etc.) to help the players both on and off the field if needed. Teams are made up of as few as five players, and may be coed. VIP teams are balanced like other AYSO teams, with players rated by size and physical ability. Our goals for every participating player include, but are not limited to: · Have fun playing soccer · Understand the fundamentals of the game · Learn teamwork and fair play · Increase positive self-esteem · Become more physically fit · Meet and be comfortable with new people For additional information, please contact your VIP Administrator: Area 11-L – VIP@ayso11l.org Region 41 - Laguna Niguel – VIP@ayso41.org – website: www.ayso41.org Region 84 - Mission Viejo – VIP@ayso84.org – website: www.ayso84.org Region 85 - Lake Forest, Foothill Ranch, Portola Hills – VIP@ayso85.org – website: www.ayso85.org Region 87 - San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point – VIP@ayso87.org – website: www.ayso87.org Region 630 - Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Trabuco Canyon, Las Flores, Wagon Wheel – VIP@ayso630.org - website: www.ayso630.org
