Kids Zone
Region 13 follows the AYSO Kids Zone — a national program that sets ten standards for behavior at every game and event:
- Kids come first
- Fun matters more than winning
- Players play, fans cheer, coaches coach
- Respect for the volunteer referees
- Positive language at all times
- No weapons, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs at AYSO events
- Leave no trash behind
- Celebrate the player — win or lose
