This past weekend, board members from Fillmore AYSO Region 242 attended the 2025 AYSO Sections 1/10/11 EXPO in San Diego,
where they spent time learning, connecting, and preparing for another exciting season of youth soccer. The annual expo
offers a valuable opportunity for volunteers from across the region to receive training, continuing education, share ideas,
and bring back fresh knowledge to better serve their local communities.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the recognition of Fillmore’s very own Arnold Muñoz, who was honored as the AYSO
Area 10W Volunteer of the Year. The award was proudly presented by AYSO Area 10W Director Dave Howells, recognizing Arnold’s
outstanding dedication and contributions to AYSO and the families he serves.

In true Arnold fashion, he didn’t just accept the award—he also completed additional training and certifications, further
equipping himself to guide the Fillmore AYSO board, coaches, and families through another successful year.

In addition to receiving this prestigious award, Arnold was also recently re-elected as Regional Commissioner for Fillmore
AYSO 242, a role he has faithfully served in for the past nine years. His involvement in AYSO spans nearly two decades: 18
years as a coach, 17 years as a referee, three years as Regional Coach Administrator, and two years as a board member.

Arnold’s passion for youth sports and his commitment to the Fillmore community have left a lasting impact. Under his
leadership, Fillmore AYSO continues to thrive, offering a positive and inclusive soccer experience for players and families
alike.

Congratulations, Arnold, on your well-deserved recognition and continued leadership. We look forward to a fantastic 2025
season!
