Headed by Amanda Martin as the new Regional Commissioner, AYSO 543 is off to a great start to the season. Martin and her son have been a part of AYSO for several years now and she is excited to grow the programs offered by the region. She is going to be implementing playground and schoolyard soccer to bring a level of participation in for younger children and their parents. With the help of new board members for the region, Martin is the right fit to head the soccer organization.
