MINUTES FROM MARCH 16 (VIRTUAL MEETING): Many points of protocol were shown in a PowerPoint presentation by Luke. Those will be sent to Board members by Luke to be added to the next month’s minutes.
SPRING REVIEW:
- Mary signed up for fall season and opened up again in February. There were 44 new players signed up. Players paid $50 and did not have to pay again for the national dues. Some players chose to play up to the next age division. She reports the parents are very positive and supportive.
- 6U Coach training: Coaches did not show up for the in person training and there is no way of knowing how many did the online training. There were a lot of new coaches in this division.
- REFEREE THOUGHTS: Chris would like to create (or have someone do this) a local training video. More will be decided and discussed later.
- People are not signing up to volunteer. Need to go back to having a team manager?
- Uniforms were available for those who needed them
- The spring version of the shoe sale/swap collected $350
- People appreciated having shin guards for sale
- Shout out to Andy from Nicole for all the work he has been doing getting players registered
- Nicole picked up a few new division coordinators. All seem to have great communication skills which is needed for this volunteer job.
- A debriefing with division coordinators will be held in late May with Nicole
- We need to make a better effort to let families they need to volunteer for something in both the fall and the spring!
- Last game is scheduled for May 20th but a make-up game will be offered on May 27 for those who want to make up the April 8th Only teams wanting to play will be scheduled.
- 5-A-Side is alive and well thanks to Mike. Need a lot of solid communication, advertise food carts will be available, make it an end of the year team party and play 5-a-side all on the same day.
SCHOOL DISTRICT UP-DATE: Luke reported on a few items that have been discussed briefly with the Corvallis School District.
- Build permanent rest rooms at an approximate cost of $40,000 and eliminate portable units
- Contract with the district is set for 10 years
- Capacity for use of fields is different from Western View Center and pickleball courts
- If there is vandalism done to any buildings or modulars, who pays for that?
- Turf for elementary and middle school continues to be a large wish
FALL/SPRING REGISTRATION 2023-24
- Information will go out to families via email. Hot links will be there to register easily
- Mary and Luke will host those who need assistance for computer registration at the porch of the Western View Center since there is WiFi and we do not need to get into the building.
- Elaine will contact the DI and AP Spanish classes and have CHS students help families with registration on May 6 and May 13. We can use them for any other tasks if they are not busy with translation.
- Elaine will create an English and Spanish version flyer to be submitted to all the school districts for registration for next membership year. The AP Spanish or DI students will be given that task.
NEXT MEETING: No specific date was set for the next Board meeting with all the other events going on in the lives of the Board. Stay tuned and we will discuss things as needed.

BOARD ELECTIONS: The following Board positions were filled for the 2023-2024 MY after reviewing the applications and any discussion that was necessary before voting.

- Luke Cotton would like to continue in the position of Commissioner. It was moved by Elaine and seconded by Chris that Luke Cotton would continue in the role of Commissioner for Region 149. The motion carried unanimously.
- Luke will reach out to the CVPA applicant to have an interview with them and report back to the Board.
Thank you to all the new volunteers for stepping up to the next level with AYSO REGION 149.
EDIT TO PROGRAM LANGUAGE IN POLICIES AND PROTOCOL:
- Article 6 , paragraph A3 discusses who is a voting member: AYSO Region 148 will have the following Board members:
Assistant commissioner, registrar, team formation coordinator, secretary, treasurer, safety director, referee administrator.
- Article 7 A2 Remove VIP from #2
- Remove the word concurrently in everything except EXTRA
- Add to Addendum B: VIP included in CORE
- Article 7 B4 No player plays full games until all players play ¾ game
- Luke was taking notes on his electronic copy ( not received by the time the minutes were written but will be added at a later date)
- Elaine moved and Sarah seconded that we approve the Policies and Protocol as edited.
The motion carried unanimously.
BUDGET: The budget will be designed until June 30, 2024. Luke shared a contract letter from the Corvallis School District documenting the purchase of a field roller and the responsibilities between AYSO Region 149 and the Corvallis School District. Per field agreement the Corvallis School District is invoicing AYSO for $3500 for the purchase of equipment intended to support field maintenance for the Corvallis School District through June 30, 2024. It was moved by Chris and seconded by Elaine that we support the written agreement. The motion carried unanimously.
FALL REVIEW AND SPRING SEASON: Fall season EXTRA teams did not have a lot of games. Gold and silver leagues were added. The gold league is for higher level skills and the silver compares to the level of skill in CORE. It was suggested that 15U do this grouping.
- Newport has not returned any information about returning. Follow up is needed to know what they plan to do in the Spring.
- Bucks port-a-pots cost $480 per month. Luke decided to try Honey Buckets this spring.
- Paint costs have risen. The estimate is $3,000 for paint for the lines.
- Field layout will be the same as the fall unless the weather causes too many wet areas. Fields 113 and 132 will be used as little as possible due to the construction and difficulty getting to them. Nicole will check with Adams about leaving the playground gate open for the weekends.
- 6U boys added teams for the spring.
- 13U and 15U have conflicts in the schedule so only a few games will be scheduled in advance.
- Sign up for volunteer jobs listed on our website.
- Shoe/equipment sale will be the first week in front of the referee shed under the two white tents that are connected together. Elaine will oversee this event and get the cash bag from Sarah.
- Coach training will be next week. Abe has contacted all coaches who have been identified.
- Dan will send out an email reminder of the clinic.
- Vince will send Luke dates for the CORE referee training so it can be announced to all AYSO parents. The hope is to gather some new volunteers.
NEXT MEETING: Our next scheduled Board meeting will be April 20, 2023 unless otherwise noted.

RETREAT JANUARY 21, 2023
GRAND OAKS CLUB HOUSE
PRESENT: Luke Cotton, Nicole Chapman, Mary Cotton, Dan Herford, Brad Withcomb, Vince Waterhous, Chris Jordon, Elaine Markley, Andy Ungerer, Dustin Denver, Sarah Childs
BOARD POSITIONS: Luke’s term is up this year and he will need to send out a mass email letting members of Region 149 that there is an opening for anyone interested in this job. Luke is interested in remaining the Commissioner of Region 149. We are also looking for the following Board positions:
- Equipment Manager
- Safety Director (Brad Whitcomb will be filling out an application for this position)
- CVPA
- High School Coordinator?
- Summer Camp Coordinator
- Indoor Coordinator
- Futbol Coordinator
We will vote on any Board positions in March
DONATION OPTION IN SPORTS CONNECT: Mary suggested we have a special option button for Fields Improvement so families can donate to help upgrade and maintain fields. This will be discussed in April.
EXPO APRIL 27-30: This is not good timing for our region to attend. There are other EXPO meetings in other states and we could go there even though it is out of our area.
- It was suggested that if we don’t send anyone to EXPO this year, we use some of the budgeted money to sponsor Stevenson Region since they are new and would benefit from attending. No action was taken on this idea.
BUDGET: Referee supplies are well stocked at this time
- Dan would like to spend money for advanced training
- Brad would like our region to do our own summer camps since we have trained coaches. If the camp is all day, volunteers would have to juggle work schedules. We will discuss this at the March meeting.
- Player fee is going up $25 for next membership year. Will be offer an early bird discount to those who register before a certain date? We currently have $90 as a full player fee and half for those on free/reduced lunch program through the schools. This will be discussed at the February meeting.
- Ask division coordinators if they think early bird discounts will be an incentive for people to sign up on time and not wait until the season begins.
- Dan would like to explore ideas to have an auto renewal where player is automatically enrolled and keep the card on file. Player would respond if the DON”T want to play. We will discuss this in the March meeting.
GRADES VS BIRTH YEAR: Nicole presented the pros and cons of moving to a grade sign up, going ways from birthdate sign up.
- Sports Connect can register in grades. We can request a span of ages within each grade.
- Dustin says don’t advertise date of birth, just grades (less confusion)
- Division Coordinator’s jobs should be easier to place players and not have to deal with complaints!
- Some of the heading rules would have to be double checked for the grade age within each division.
- After a lengthy discussion, it was moved by Elaine and seconded by Andy that we move to the “grade vs birth date” for MY2023-24. The motion passed unanimously.
NEXT MEETING:
Our next scheduled meeting will be Thursday, February 23 at the Frist Christian Church. This is always subject to change! A lot of ideas were generated with few decisions made so February and March will be busy wrapping up loose ends.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022
In person and Zoom meeting
PRESENT: Luke Cotton, Elaine Markley, Nicole Chapman, John Sweet, Duston Denver, Vince Waterhous, Chris Jordan, Mary Cotton, Justin Azhocar, Andy Ungerer, Sarah Childs
MINUTES FROM OCTOBER 22, 2022: It was moved by Vince and seconded by John that the minutes for October 22, 2022 be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously.
INDOOR: There are 244 players having a great time from November through December. There are 151 boys registered and 93 girls registered. As always, there were a lot of late sign ups so that causes issues with team formation. The team were formed by grade rather than age. All groups are large but it seems to be working well. The maximum is 10 players per team. Dallas United registered a 7th/8th grade team. Approximately 15 players were turned away due to late registration. The following is the specific breakdown
Boys 2nd grade =18
Girls 2nd grade = 15
Boys 3rd/4th grade =42
Girls 3rd/ 4th grade = 21
Boys 5th/6th grade = 40
Girls 5th/6th grade = 23
Boys 7th/8th grade = 31
Girls 7th/ 8th grade = 22
There will not be a second indoor season this year. In the past it ran in February through March.
AREA TOURNEY: Duston reported that he felt the area tournament went well. There were 11 teams from Corvallis Region 149 and a total of 50 for all age groups. There will be a meeting to discuss ways to improve. Referees seemed to be an area of weakness. One suggestion was to have a referee workshop. Perhaps each team must provide a trained referee before registration would be accepted. The dates for the area tournament next year are October 28-29 with a possibility of it being held in Albany. Duston needs to confirm that with Region 870 Board.
- More port-a pots needed. They were overflowing after Day 1. L
- Luke said Regin 149 will be contracting Bucks for port-a- pots next year. They are more expensive, but we are hoping they will be more reliable.
- It was suggested the number of teams be capped due to the lack of referees
- The weather was great this fall so the fields were in good shape for all day back to back use.
TREASURER REPORT: Sarah provided a breakdown of the money that she suggests being placed in a CD ($100,000), checking account ($6,000) and $25,000 for bills (uniforms). In the October 20, 2022, it was moved by Vince and seconded by Mary that we close our accounts at People’s Bank and move the money to Corvallis for convenience of the treasurer since the previous treasure was an executive at People’s Bank. That motion carried unanimously. After a review of options for the money, it was moved by Elaine and seconded by Andy that we move $100,000 from People’s Bank to First Tech Federal Credit Union and the rest to Citizens Bank, both in Corvallis, and that the accounts at People’s Bank are all closed. The motion carried unanimously. Sarah will follow up on the closing of the accounts and opening the new accounts.
FIELDS WORK: This will be discussed at a later date.
RETREAT: Andy will reserve the Consumer Power meeting room for the retreat to be held on January 21 from 9:00-12:30. This can not be done until 30 days or the date requested.
NSP PICTURE REBATE: As an incentive to use Northwest Sports Pictures, the agreement with Region 149 was that for every picture order, Region 149 would receive a $2 rebate and for every decal sold, we would get a $1 rebate. The total rebate check will be issued for $679 to go into the scholarship fund.
OTHER:
- Referees: Vince shared that there are 11 referees taking the Intermediate level training for referees. There are 7 from Region 149 and 4 from Region 870.
- Pizza party for coaches was a success. There were about 30 coaches present and they all shared positive comments. Everyone that came participated in the discussion.
- EXPO is scheduled for the end of April in Arizona next year. The timing is not good for representation so Luke is looking into other dates with other areas.
NEXT MEETING: Our next scheduled meeting will be the January retreat at Consumer Power off Westhills Road on January 21 from 9:00am-12:30pm. Elaine will provide light snacks for the meeting.

Tournament Debrief Meeting
November 16, 2022 7:00 – 8:33pm
Attendance: Duston Denver, Leanne Henriques, Jonathan Morrison (525), Dan Haak, Kelsey Walker, Emmi Clayton, Tricia Costa, Walt Mahaffee
Review Luke’s email: See below.
Suggested date of 10/28-29. He would like to not host but could help if we need to split the location.
Kudos:
- 50 teams participated. (Duston)
- Weather was great. (Duston)
- Went smoothly on the day of (Walt)
- Coaches call was helpful. Include refs next time. (Duston)
- We need that on the calendar!
- Sportsmanship Award (Duston)
- Walt said that at Section the refs can give one on the field to a player.
- Coins or hot cocoa?
- Keep the team award as well.
- Hat & Ice cream card?
- Estimated profit of $1800 (Duston)
- Money being used to send Kelsey to Area tournament
- The rest of the money will be used for area training and growth
- Walt said that at Section the refs can give one on the field to a player.
Issues/Suggestions:
- Champ game for U11 Boys – Coaches conflict. History in home region. Handled well and was resolved quickly. (Duston)
- Need more restrooms. Ran out of TP and some were full. We ordered extras to be delivered on second day. Thank you Tricia! (Duston)
- Refs: Normal scramble to get the games covered (Walt).
- Walt had to take time off work to get schedule out due to late game schedule.
- Need to have a least a game schedule, even if we don’t have teams listed.
- Parents want time to see their kids. Estimated 2 weeks minimum to get that sorted.
- Suggestion not to have two locations as it make it more difficult to get refs.
- Did not have time to vet that all training was done for those who showed up to ref on the day of.
- We had some refs who did 8 games each day. That is too much and not sustainable.
- Suggestion to require each team provide a referee to the tournament. Define minimum number of games each team needs to cover. Team can use multiple people if they choose. (Daniel)
- Even with this requirement we will still be short 1 ref per game (Walt)
- We need to ensure pathway for smaller regions who do not have the required training to feel included and invited. (Leanne)
- Duston suggested having them contact Tournament Director and/or Ref Admin.
- Could use the tournament as an opportunity to provide training/assessment. (Duston)
- Agreed training that weekend is difficult. New refs working at the tournament would be less than ideal and not recommended. (Walt/Dustin/Daniel)
- Regional referee – 2 hours after online is done. We probably have the staff to support training them the Friday evening before the tournament but need to be mindful of what we are asking them to ref the following days.
- Gibby, as Director of Instruction would schedule any training that needs to happen so that Kelsey can focus on the tournament itself
- There is a list of how many refs each region has so that we can make some assumptions on capacity. It’s not an easy list to get and is always in flux but could give us a good idea of what’s possible.
- Refs need to know that cards need to come back to safety shed. (Duston)
- Use waterproof paper next year.
- Some coaches still printed their own using other formats.
- We need a hand out for refs on details, Walt gave instruction but the step in refs didn’t get that.
- Walt can do on waterproof paper – have to use laser printer!
- Give rule info to coaches also.
- Put recruit efforts on the regions. At section tournament Area Ref Admins provide support for a block of slots. We could do this at an RC level. (Daniel)
- Schedule:
- At section they have a preset schedule because they know how many teams they will have. Schedule can be built further ahead. (Duston)
- We need to ensure that we do not have more games than we can provide refs for. See notes above. (Walt)
- Allocate guaranteed slots for each region. As regions decide not to send, we can fill those with other regions. i.e if Hermiston doesn’t send a team, one of the other regions could take that slot. (Daniel)
- This would help with predicting number of games and amount of funds incoming.
- Allows us to use the same “shell schedule” every year. (Daniel)
- Three teams dropped out right before the tournament. Difficult for teams who lost that game. (Duston)
- Require deposit that is forfeited if they don’t show. (Walt)
- Wait list option. (Leanne)
- Round Robin style
- allowed for teams knew their schedule for the first day and were able to plan their day.
- Less conflicts on day one in Info shed.
- We need to remind coaches to check on Sat night to see if they made it!
- We did have one team forfeit because they didn’t know they were in playoffs.
- Team Registration: Proposed cut off Oct 13th (Duston)
- Published schedule for teams needs to go live by the 15th so that refs can sign up based on kids games schedules. (Walt)
- Three weeks before games deadline for team cutoff (Daniel)
Recap
- We may need to start a Max capacity structure rather than growth oriented tournament. All in agreement.
- Duston, Leanne, Emmi and Kelsey can meet to set these guidelines up early so we can publish that data.
- Tentative schedule for Oct 28th & 29th (Tricia would like to go one week further out, will talk to her board)
- Gives regions a 7 week season if they start on Sept 9th (some regions do a jamboree style on the first weekend and then 7 weeks of games this would leave them a game short)
- High School Soccer playoffs are second Sat of November is final.
- Proposed dates would be first weekend of playoffs (pull for refs)
- OSU/U of O game consideration if Corvallis or Springfield host.
- Schedule is not out yet
- Location: Timber Linn location proposed – only other location option is Springfield and we would need to talk to Brian about capacity. Tricia could tell us by retreat in January.
- Duston will email who would like to host. Send proposal, what are requirements, field space, goals, game day needs etc. RCs respond by end of January.
- Continue Round Robin style – tournament standard is three game guarantee.
- Timeline Commitment:
- End of January
- Location set
- Number of teams and guidelines ready
- “Shell” schedule ready to go.
- By end of February – everything updated on Area website.
- Rule changes
- Registration form set up
- Deadlines & Calendar set (includes meetings)
- End of January
Luke’s email content:
Hi Everyone,
I’ll miss the meeting tonight, but here is my quick report.
The date chosen was good and next year would be good to look at doing 10/28 & 10/29 or later into November.
I would like to have the event at another location next year, if we need to split over multiple places, we might be able to help.
A few missed logistics, but overall went well.

TREASURER REPORT: Sarah discussed the accounts that are currently at People’s Bank in Albany and requested that we move our accounts to Corvallis for the convenience of the Board members since the previous treasurer was an executive at that branch. It was moved by Mary and seconded by Vince that we close all accounts at People’s Bank.
- Sarah will bring a proposal for a new bank and how much should be into checking and into CD’s to the next meeting. By the next meeting we will know how much money will be needed for pre-order of uniforms for MY2023-24. (estimated $14,000)
- It was suggested that our region purchase the Quickbook program used by National.
- $4,000 Aerator purchase with the 509-J to attach to the mower that Region 149 purchased for the district.
- $2,000 was spent of fall watering
- $4,000 soccer goal donation to elementary schools. Locations will be discussed since there is still construction on a lot of the elementary fields and safety is the #1 concern for anchoring the goals.
REGISTRAR REPORT: Andy provided a summary of how many players are currently enrolled in core (877), Development (47) and Extra (55). As always, families are waiting until the last minute to register players. Everything seems to be going relatively smooth this fallJ
FALL OVERVIEW: Luke gave shoutouts to Abe for all the coordination and counseling he has done to make the coach/referee role more defined and easier to understand expectations of their volunteer role. Chris echoed his appreciation from the referee end of positive behaviors from coaches.
- Nicole was thanked for help with team formation and all the wonderful division coordinators who worked so hard to balance teams and accommodate requests.
- Better communication is needed at the Safety Station for directions on how to close
- Board Closer position needs to be a real Board member. There was one Saturday that a non-board member had signed up for the Board Closer time slot. With the slot filled, it prevented a board member to sign up for that slot. Andy stayed and did the closing on that Saturday.”
- Clear, written directions need to be edited to match our existing fields and chores to be done before leaving.
- Tabled until January meeting will be how to build up the youth referee program. Think of campaigns for players to “give back” to the organization.
- Use players in the pick-up games to help recruit for key volunteer positions as referee and/or coach
- Paint cost has gone up 40%. Needs to be reflected in budget for next season
UPCOMING EVENTS: Area Tournament will be a round robin format
- Fields will all be used on the north side of the safety station.
- Some fields might have to be angled differently to fit our needs for this one weekend tournament
- Volunteers who are at the field will help pick up the slack as needed
- Area Director will be at the Safety/Information station for check-in, Q & A and any other tournament concerns. There will be food truck located on site
- Field clean up after area tourney: Try to get the last team on the field to move the goals and get it done that day rather than coming back and not having as many helpers!
INDOOR SOCCER: At this time there are 119 players registered. Registration closes on October 24.
FUTSAL: The building at the fairgrounds has been reserved. Total cost for use from January 22-March 12 will be $1680.
HIGH SCHOOL/ADULT PICKUP: Saturday from 10:30am-noon rotating fields as needed, depending on the weather and the condition of the fields
SUMMER CAMP: Looking into a different format for summer camp. Brad Whitcomb has expressed an interest in running the camps. Perhaps from 9-noon rather than a full day camp.
One thought is to pay our own coaches to run the camp. This will be discussed at the January retreat.
NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 17 at the First Christian Church or online beginning at 7:10pm.

NEW BOARD MEMEBERS: Applicants for new board positions primarily consisted of those for divisional coordinators and one application for Coach Support Specialist. It was moved by Elaine and seconded by Andy that all applicants be accepted to the positions they applied for. The motion carried unanimously. Congratulations and thank you to the following who want to make a difference in AYSO Region 149:
- Coach Support Specialist- Justin Azhoca
- 7UB Division Coordinator- Janea Davis
- 7UG Division Coordinator- Chiemi Cunningham
- 9UB Division Coordinator- Vaessa Boyer
- 13UB Division Coordinator-LeeAnn Baker
- 15UB Division Coordinator-Becky Torgeson
- Application received July 15 from Claire Flusher for 7UG Division Coordinator was not voted on since the meeting was on July 14, 2022
MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 23, 2022: The last official meeting documented was February 23, 2022. It was moved by Brian and seconded that the minutes be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously.
TEAM FORMATION: There have been changes made for the number of players that each team in the younger divisions will have on the roster and how many players will be on the field playing at one time. This can be accommodated with the 4 colors of uniforms to make additional teams with lower numbers. Refer to “About” on the website for specific team demographics. https://www.corvallisayso.org/about/rules.html
- Teams will be able to submit a team name to the Board AFTER they have identified the key volunteers required for each division. Until then, they will be referred to a number, assigned by Division Coordinators
- All Division Coordinators will have access to data rights. Luke will be the only one to have the power to move a player to a different division.
- Referees will be assigned to games from 9U and above. Each team must provide one center referee and one coach in these divisions.
- Reminder when having two male coaches with an all-girls team or vice versa…a volunteer of the same gender of the team must be present at all times or in the area at all times. Luke said if there is another team practicing at the same area and they have someone that fits this scenario above, that will be ok, but always best for each team to have their own volunteer there for safety reasons.
TIMELINE FOR TEAM FORMATION
- July 15 begin sorting and working with data
- Complete all player distribution by the weekend of July 30
- Wait list will begin July 19 for anyone who has not currently registered
- Andy will email each family that is “pending” or has a shopping cart order to have them compete their registration process if they plan to play in the fall
- August 3 or 4 families will be notified of the team their child has been assigned
- More information from Andy
Wait list Registration starts on July 19. (Open registration closes on July 18) Note that this is for Core Recreational.

- Uniforms will be given out IF the team has identified their key volunteers. Teams can select color based on how many teams are in each division. We will sort and divide into equal numbers of the four colors per division and gender.
- We will have an equipment sale at each team meeting
- Advertising for families to bring used shoes, jerseys, etc. will go out with the August 3rd or 4th notice of the meetings. We need to get volunteers to help with the sale.

- There will be a shoe/equipment sale the first Saturday of the season
COACH AND REFEREE TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS
- Abe is looking at coaches training at Adams on August 18 @ 6:00pm. Details to follow
- Referee training will be September 6 and 8 with a refresher course on Sept. 9. More details will be worked out by Chris and Vince with specific dates, times and location. Stay tuned.
START OF SEASON:
- Practices may begin the week of August 22.
- The season will begin on Saturday, September 10. It will not be considered a “soft start” this year since teams have more time to get organized as will the referees and coaches.
- There will be an area tournament at Adams on Saturday, October 29
- Shoe/equipment sale will be held in on September 10. Catalina back to help?
NEW CALENDAR PROGRAM FOR WEBSITE:
- Luke is looking into purchasing a better calendar system for the website that can reduce the need for additional data entry for sign-ups for clinics, events, etc. The cost would be about $30 per year. An investment well worth the money spentJ We currently pay approximately $150 per year for the website.
FYI: Luke will not be around the area from August 14-20! He deserves a break from AYSO! Thank you, Luke, for all you do for all of the community.
NEXT MEETING: The date was not discussed for the next meeting. Typcally we have used the end of the team meetings to conduct any business we need to do to get the season up and running. If we go back to the 3rd Thursday of the month, we would be meeting when Luke is gone! Stay tuned for the announcement on that.
Respectfully submitted,
Elaine Markley, Secretary

[Corvallis AYSO Coaches] Wrapping up the Spring Season
5/23/23 11:14 PM
|
Coaches!
The season is wrapping up. Many of you are done done done, and many are still engaged in the game for another weekend or two.
Thank you all for the many hours you have put in - planning and executing training sessions, puzzling over how to best communicate a concept or motivate your team, working up your game-day roster plan (and starting over when those players didn't show), and just putting your energy into making the program here as good as it can be for the kids. Thank you.
Things upcoming this week and next include
1) Equipment return when you are all done - this Saturday or next.
2) Player evaluations - key to helping us do the best we can in balancing teams. Look for the email from Luke.
3) 5-A-Side sign-ups!
4) For those scheduled to play in a scrimmage this Saturday, please reach out to the opposing coach and coordinate to make sure both teams have enough players and are planning on playing.
Abe and I met today and we are working up plans for coaching training over the summer. We hope that you will stick with us and roll your experience forward into the Fall!
It has been very rewarding to interact with so many of you and to see all that you bring to your teams and the program. Thank you again for all you do!
Always feel free to email Abe or me with any ideas, questions, or concerns.

[CorvallisAYSO] Competitive Soccer for 5th-8th Grade
5/19/23 12:21 PM
| Hi |User First Name|, Along with Core Recreational K-8 (here), Summer Camps (here), and Preschool Developmental (here). We have options for 5th-8th grade to play more competitive soccer in the area... Greetings AYSO Parents! 5th/6th Grade EXTRAIndicate Interest (here) EXTRA is a soccer program for players going into 5th and 6th grade who are looking to get more touches on the ball and playing against some more advanced competition than what they experience in the AYSO CORE program. All participants must enroll in CORE (the traditional Saturday morning games at Adams) to play EXTRA. If you participate in the EXTRA program, please realize that it is, well, extra soccer, meaning extra practice and extra games. For EXTRA families, Saturdays can get quite busy, so please think about your comfort level with committing to the program. While we would love to have everyone who wants to play be able to, there are limitations in the size of rosters for EXTRA teams. The skills evaluation will help coaches and coordinators get a feel for the abilities of the athletes to help determine if EXTRA is appropriate for your athlete. If we have enough interest at a particular age, we may be able to recruit more coaches and form more teams. EXTRA Season, Travel, Uniforms, & Cost:
7th/8th Grade SelectIndicate Interest (here) Select is a soccer program for players going into 7th or 8th grade who want a more competitive practice and game environment and who are willing to work hard to improve their skills and level of play. We highly recommend players also enroll in either our CORE (the traditional Saturday morning games at Adams) program or their middle school soccer program, but this is not required. While we would love to have everyone who wants to play be able to, there are limitations in the size of rosters for Select teams. The skills evaluation will help coaches and coordinators get a feel for the abilities of the athletes to help determine if Select is appropriate for your athlete. If we have enough interest at a particular age, we may be able to recruit more coaches and form more teams. Select Season, Travel, Uniforms, & Cost:
AYSO Alliance 2007 - 2009Indicate Interest (here) AYSO Alliance is a competitive program for 2007, 2008, & 2009 birth year players who want to play in both internal and external gaming circuits as members of both AYSO and US Youth Soccer or US Club Soccer. Alliance is a program designed to support the AYSO player development pathway to the highest levels of play. Teams will be formed based on the number of players registered & the number of available volunteer coaches. Tryouts will be held only if there are more players than spots available.

hey coach - Walk the Fuzzy Futbol Line
5/12/23 1:32 PM
|
Hey Coach. You have rocked this season hard. Only 3 games left until end of regular season, then optional 5 a Side tournament. Enjoy these last games, take pride in the player development and character building of your team. And walk The Fuzzy Futbol Line.... The Fuzzy Line is the moment in soccer when a player uses their body in a legal way to make a play. There is no foul. It is physical. It may look aggressive. But it is legal, allowable and the Referees are charged to not blow the whistle and interrupt the flow of the game. This means, at times, that you may feel protective of your player, may want to blow a gasket, may want to yell at the referee for a call and may want to give the evil eye to the opposing coach. At this Fuzzy Line, in that Fuzzy Moment, consider taking a breath. Allow the play to continue. Maybe calmly ask the referee, at the end of the game, why no call. Maybe politely ask the opposing coach about what they saw. Consider reaching out to Dan or me after the game to debrief what happened so we can help explain The Fuzzy Line within the specific situation of your game. The Fuzzy Line will become less fuzzy as you coach more, study the laws of soccer, join the referee corps and grow your soccer knowledge through discussion with other coaches. And here are some nuggets to hopefully guide your Walking the Fuzzy Line..... *if the player with the ball is pushed (or tripped or some other potential foul) but maintains possession, succeeds in a pass that may be a no foul situation. *If the player without the ball uses their body, hip checks, shoulder bumps to create space, that may be a no foul situation. *soccer is a physical game, our players are developing, and the use of aggressive play may not be a foul situation. *fouls should always be called when the action of a player crosses that fuzzy line and the referees are trained to not make the foul call unless the play is careless, reckless or using excessive force. The Fuzzy Line teaches all players to play until they hear the whistle, teaches them to use their bodies appropriately in sport. The Fuzzy Line also teaches us coaches to chill, let the play occur, observe how your players respond and may point you to what your next practice should include. Thanks for all you do. The nearly 1,000 players benefit from your leadership and volunteerism. Best, Abe |

[Corvallis AYSO Coaches] Good stuff!
4/28/23 10:19 PM
| Hey Coaches! Thank you for sending in your game reports! It helps us a ton to know what's working and what's not working. Abe and I both read every report, and Abe has been handling the majority of interactions over the Fall and Spring seasons. (If you haven't been doing your reports, you are missing out on 'Kudos by Abe', and I mean you've been missing out.) Sometimes, there are bummer situations and things to deal with, but most often you all bless us with news of great interactions and happy, soccer-loving kids. And sometimes we get astonishing reports like this one, submitted by Jeff Gardner, currently coaching both a 6UG and an 8UB team: "As usual, it was a pleasure working with all the coaches on both sides; great people! And I'm so proud of our boys! They are really playing like a team and continuing to divert each other; should anyone start acting unsportsmanlike. It seems our coaches have finally found a way to turn our "scoring machines" into "assist machines". Players get points for each assist and lose points for every unassisted goal over 1. They use the points to earn water balloons, they get to throw at me at the end of the season. If Leif (our blind player) scores, they all get 10 balloons. Leif ended up touching the ball more than ever and we had only 2 unassisted goals, with scoring spread fairly well amongst the players. One of our strongest players had no goals but had 2 assists and one of the best crossing passes I've seen from this age group. The opposing side coaches did an awesome job keeping their team spread and positioned and it helped us in showing our team some of the things we've been discussing but not grasping. We are lucky to have some really dedicated coaches in AYSO who are so willing to help each other. The more I do this, the more I feel like "my players" are on both sides of the field. It's our little AYSO village; love it!" Not only is this a beautiful picture of some great coaching and great teamwork - it's a testimony to the community vibe you are helping to create. Thank you! Our kids - and we all - are better for it. Coaches on 3! Dan Herford Coach Admin Abe Drabkin Director of Coach Education |

Coaches! Game Day Approaches!
4/14/23 7:59 AM
|
Coaches!!
I'm thankful for our outstanding team of coaches. You are part of a big group that is putting in important work on behalf of our kids. Thank you!
We are looking forward to games this Saturday! Many of the older teams were able to play last Saturday, but this will be the first game day for most of the region.
Just a few things to hit to help all of Team Coach have a good start to the season:
1. We have a bunch of coaches who have just stepped up this Spring, as well as some new teams, and many teams who have had really limited opportunity to practice due to the closed fields. Please keep all that in mind and help each other get everything figured out. Adjust for your opponent, but be ready to start out a little less intense than you might if everything was starting really strong. This ties into our frequent reminder...
2. Coach communication! Please get in a quick Team Coach fist bump and cover any concerns before kick-off. For reminders about how to deal with lopsided games and the like...
3. Stop by the Safety Shed and ask for your very own laminated handout that covers all of those fundamentals about our excellent Coach Culture. That's for all you coaches and assistant coaches! Hand-laminated by Abe, by the way. And don't forget...
4. After the game is over and you are home drying out your socks, click the link on the email that shows up and give us a game report. Scores, and any comments (positive or negative). This is really helpful for us to be able to address issues and send out kudos and just keep tabs on what's happening out there. Speaking of what's happening...
5. Now that you've had some communication and have a better idea who is and isn't on the team this spring, please email Nicole Chapman with any drops. Send her age group, team name, and the name of the dropped players. And remember that you can check who is on your roster and access team communication tools (if you want to) by going to your team page on Sports Connect.

[CorvallisAYSO] Over 2in of Rain... ugh
4/10/23 6:59 AM
| Hello All 7U+ Coaches, If you have been watching the weather, the beginning of this week sucks. Later in the week is looking good. Those that have practices on Monday or Tuesday, might be good to shuffle locations or look at options for rescheduling later in the week. Adams Area: Almost all fields are over saturated today, the best spaces are by the old track, the pickle ball courts, Western View Center, and field 132. If you are not able to move to another space off a field, you would need to cancel for Monday and Tuesday. Thank You for adjusting as the weather keeps us on our toes. Right now, things look good for Saturday... but I said that last week and we got an inch of rain on Thur night. Luke |

New Players: If you are with a newly created team, your coach might have the team uniforms, either way please feel free to show up at the information / safety shed today 4/8 or Saturday 4/15 to pick up your jersey and socks.

You can stop by today 4/8 or next week 4/15 to pay in cash or check (to AYSO) and pick up the uniform.

[CorvallisAYSO] 6U-11U Games Cancelled 4/8
4/07/23 6:00 PM
| Hello 6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, and 11U AYSO Spring Families, Your games are being cancelled for Saturday 4/8. Unfortunately, the fields you are scheduled to play on, are too saturated. Sorry for the late notice, I had high hopes the weather would pan out. If you are a new player and want to pick up your uniform, you can stop by Saturday 4/8 8-11am at the Adams fields sheds. We will also have a limited Shoe Swap sale at the shed Saturday 4/8 and next week 4/15. Stay tuned as we look at Memorial Day weekend 5/27 to schedule some pickup play for your divisions and as we work on the 5-A-Side details for 6/3. NOTE: 5U, 13U, 15U, & EXTRA are still scheduled to play Saturday, as those fields are dryer or at other locations.

[CorvallisAYSO] Fields & Practices
4/05/23 12:08 PM
| Hello All Coaches, Please feel free to practice, but be prepared to adjust to using spaces to the side or in another area from your desired/designated field space. For example, most fields are good for today 4/5, but the forecast shows a larger volume of rain for Thursday 4/6. If you see water pooling, excessive mud, or damage, look to move to another area. In general it is a good idea to have your practice avoid heavy traffic in the core/middle of the field and shuffle goals or use the popup goals to keep goal keepers out of mud pits (& keep them from creating mud pits). We are looking good for Saturday, but that relies on you helping to keep the fields playable. Thank You for adjusting as the weather keeps us on our toes. :) Luke |

[CorvallisAYSO] Cancel Practices Mon 4/3 & Tue 4/4
4/02/23 1:34 PM
| Coaches, If you practice on Monday 4/3 or Tuesday 4/3 this week on a grass field, especially Adams School area. Please cancel your practice. Most of the grass fields are waterlogged and the weather will not get warm enough to help dry things up. Sorry to throw a wrench in plans for this week, but hopefully we keep the game and practice spaces in good condition this week to have good games Saturday. Thanks, Luke Cotton - Region Commissioner Again, at Adams School Area and Western View Area, keep players off the grass Monday and Tuesday. |

[CorvallisAYSO] Game Schedule and Team Names
3/28/23 8:53 AM
| Hello AYSO Coaches, This will be quick, as I'm working on an All-In-One email for later in the week, please read below. Practices: 7U+ Teams (not 6U) please be flexible with practices. This year has been wet, and the fields will need to be used for many weeks to come... in other words, damage to the fields/grass now will impact you later. Think of alternative ways to get the team together, even if it is to play on a playground or to do other PE activities. Coach Practice Help Page (here). Sports Connect Team Calendar Guide for Scheduling Practices (here). Schedule: 6U-13U, you can find version one of the game schedules in Sports Connect > Volunteers > Visit Team Page > Calendar, please take a look and email me if you notice any errors or major issues. 15U and Newport, we are still working on the schedule for the first few weeks of games. Team Name: If you want to change your team's name or I have made an error with the name, please email me ASAP. I have incorporated the team colors in the names to make it easier for you to see when you might be playing a team of the same uniform color. Thank You for Coaching this Spring, I'll see you on the pitch. Luke |

[CorvallisAYSO] Spring Waitlist Players
3/05/23 6:39 AM
| Hello Spring Waitlist Families, We are working on moving and placing players this week. After activation this week or early next week, you should get an email from Sports Connect asking you to finish the player registration by paying online. Once that is done, we can place your player on a team. Please do so promptly, as we have many players waiting in some divisions. FYI: We use waitlists as a method to check and verify that we have openings for your player before you pay. We allocate a few players every week, but often do placements in bulk a month before the season starts. You will get an email once you are allocated along with instructions on how to pay. We cannot guarantee placement, but we work hard to get as many players playing as possible, sometimes even building new teams weeks before the season. In other words, it is rare we cannot find a place for your player this early (when a family has a special request is usually when we cannot find a place that matches the request).

Spring practice fields
2/26/23 8:16 PM
|
Coaches, here is info for practice fields this Spring from our favorite AYSO volunteer Elaine.
If you reserved a field at Adams in the fall, it has been renewed for the spring season on the same field at the same time and on the same day(s). You should have received an email from FSDirect with a contract number and information of when you are practicing based on the fall assignments.
Adams practice coaches DO NOTHING MORE for field reservations. This is done to make sure that the AYSO coaches have fields locked in at Adams before the Little League coaches start requesting fields. If you reserved a field in the fall at any other 509-J school, you need to contact the school to secure a field for the spring, as they do not renew like we do at Adams. ALL COACHES should feel free to print the confirmation email for your field request and keep it with you in your equipment bag. This is your proof you have properly secured the field. If you have any questions, please let me know how I can assist you.
Space is tight at all schools, so consider a park or other green space to practice. Thank you for stepping up to coach AYSO. Elaine Markley, Secretary

| Hello All Past & Present AYSO Families, This email has some quick details about our upcoming spring soccer season. 5U Developmental Players You will need to register for spring if you want to participate, as fall registration was only for fall soccer. Sports Connect Login (here) Core & EXTRA Players from Fall 2022 You are already expected/registered for Spring 2023. You should get an email asking you to confirm spring participation sometime this week. If you are not participating this spring, you can drop your registration using the link below. Not Returning? (here) | Special Request Form (here) | Sports Connect Login (here) New Spring Outdoor Rec/Core Players Wait List Registration is Open (here) We use wait lists as a method to check and verify that we have openings for your player before you pay. We allocate a few players every week, but often do placements in bulk a month before the season starts. You will get an email once you are allocated along with instructions on how to pay. We cannot guarantee placement, but we work hard to get as many players playing as possible, sometimes even building new teams weeks before the season. In other words, it is rare we cannot find a place for your player this early (when a family has a special request is usually when we cannot find a place that matches the request). Special Request Form (here) | Sports Connect Login (here) New High School Pickup Play Players Registration is open for High School players wanting to play pickup soccer. It is an RSVP system with a regular day in the week chosen for the play time. Sports Connect Login (here) Spring Calendar Notes: - February & March - New Spring Player Registration is Open (here). - Practices could get started just before spring break in late March. - Fields setup will be over spring break. - First Saturday Games are April 8th. - May & June - Registration for Fall 2023 Opens. - Final Saturday Game is May 20th. - 5-A-Side Jamboree is Saturday June 3rd.

[CorvallisAYSO] Futsal Soccer Signups Open
12/23/22 8:57 AM
| Hello All AYSO Families, I hope your family is having a good holiday so far! This winter we are offering Futsal at the Fairgrounds for 1st-8th grade groups, if you have not signed up already you can online (In Sports Connect). The futsal program is focused on player development with a coach leading players in an activity for just under an hour. The Basics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fuxeESym4 We would be playing with limited contact and keepers would be limited to older ages. Winter Futsal Soccer - Sundays Jan 22 - Mar 12, 2023 - SIGNUP NOW (In Sports Connect)Register (Sports Connect). Select a program that is available, choose the correct division (1st Grade - 8th Grade), and work through the registration process. If you have a special request, use this request form (here). All activities will be played at the Benton County Fairgrounds Solar Building. The 8 activities are about 50 minutes long and are scheduled Sundays. This session will go from Jan 22 - Mar 12, notifications will happen by Jan 16, with a first part of the schedule expected soon after. The season/program fee is $50 and will need to be paid by Credit Card in Sports Connect after your player is placed with a group. Players that have not played with AYSO this School Year often need to pay the AYSO non-refundable membership fee of $20. We cannot guarantee that a division will have enough players for teams, if that is the case, and we could not place your player, your credit card would be refunded the $50 (if your player is placed, and you cancel, the refund could be $48. After we start the activities, no refunds) (refund form). NEW Volunteers (Head or Asst. Coach): During player registration, I am asking for volunteer indication. Once I know the interest/numbers, I will indicate that the individual needs to register as a volunteer. This saves us the cost of a potential Background Check and it saves you the hassle of registering before we know you are needed. EXISTING Volunteers (Head or Asst. Coach): Please register as a volunteer online in Sports Connect, if your account is not tied to your player, ensure the helper/volunteer spot in the player registration form has your name so I can connect the dots. You will not need to go through the background check process again. More Information about all Winter AYSO Offerings... Futsal Sundays Jan 22 - Mar 12, 2023 (1st - 8th Grade).

# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= GAME DAYS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= #
Game Day Gear: The sports park will have a bag with soccer balls and pinnies for players, stored at the front desk.
Parents: Ensure you player is wearing the right equipment and has a white shirt; first game day, sign the release form (one needed per year) and turn it in; drop your player off with the right team manager by the benches next to the field; if you are staying for the game, I suggest you go upstairs to spectate and cheer (note: players can hear your conversations and comments from the balcony); if you have young children with you, consider the downstairs space by the benches (do not kick soccer balls against walls by benches); from entering the field, the game is about 42min, be back to meet your player in the lobby at that time.
Players: Wear a white shirt (or team designated color and bring a white shirt); standard soccer restrictions ([no watch, earrings, etc.], socks over shin guards, court shoes (okay for Elementary Players) or turf shoes (required for Middle Schoolers); the field could be cold at start, but you will warm up fast, sport pants can be a good idea; enter on the ground floor and check in with your manager at the bench seats right next to the field (be sure you know your team name); when your manager says okay, enter the field and place your equipment in one of the player boxes, after the other team is out; warm up, stretch, and wait for positions from your manager; after the game, grab your equipment and leave the field to the lobby.
Team Managers: Bring a printing of your roster, the referee could have a roster for you (use the roster for sub/player tracking); if you are the first game, or the team before you uses different size soccer balls, ask the front desk to check for the game day bag for your size; gather your players in the waiting area by the benches (or on the field if the referee is present); check player equipment on arrival and note them in your roster; enter the field with your team after the prior game clock is done (about 5min before your start time according to the field clock); figure out a team box to the west and place your equipment, after the other team is out of the box; talk with the opposing team manager, find the pinnies, and decide who will wear them (often the team with players not all wearing one color); indicate positions to players (1 GK (use a rotation if needed), 2 defenders, 2 midfield (your energizer bunnies), 2 forwards, remainder to box), give the goal keeper a unique color pinnie; after game start, do on the fly substitutions (players should only sit out for 6min at a time), and mark the subs in the roster; I use a method where I sub a player every 2min (w/ 3subs) or every 3min (w/ 2subs); at half YOU HAVE 1MIN, swap the goal keeper (if they want to stay in the position, press them to play the field), and do your 1 sub; at the end of the game, gather all the gear from the team box and leave the field, we have little time between games, so do the high five off the field.
Referees: Get team roster from front desk (they will often highlight the players missing something); if clock is off, ask them to turn it on; enter the field and place your gear in the box to the south east; check the sports park clock (often 6 min slow) and set the game clock to count down to about 2min before the game should start; check w/ managers for players missing liability forms (you can give them the roster); check player equipment (standard soccer stuff, no outdoor cleats)(larger players need turf shoes); ensure the teams have consistent colors and the keeper is a unique color; get a game ball, if it is flat the front counter has a pump; INDOOR IS FAST, please do everything you can to keep the pace and get folks playing; set the clock for 18min, start the 18min within 1min of game start no matter what; you do not need to put scores on the board; at half set the clock for 1min or less to catch up; start the last 18min, 30seconds after the half time clock ran out, no matter what; take all of your equipment and help get game equipment off the field to the front desk.
Game Clock Details
To set the time, press "Set Clock", enter in time, press enter >> Start time - Press "Clock on/off" which will also pause the clock.
To award goals, press either "Guest Score +1" or "Home Score +1" NOTICE: we do not normally keep track of goals on the board.
To take away goals, press "Set Guest Functions" or "Set Home Functions". You will then type in the number of goals the team should have and press enter.
To enter a penalty, press the button labeled "Guest Penalty" or "Home Penalty". Enter player #1, press enter, enter time, press enter again.
** If you are not the first game, you will need to hit the button labeled "New Game Options", enter in the time of the game and hit enter. **
** For halftime, press the timeout button. It will automatically bring up 1 minute **
IMPORTANT: Games must start on time. If your game starts late, the referee may need to shorten your match to prevent conflict with the next scheduled game.

[CorvallisAYSO] High School Pickup Update
10/28/22 4:33 AM
| Hi High School Families, Our first pickup time is Saturday Nov 12th 10:30am - 12pm and Adams Area by the pickball courts. If you have friends interested in coed pickup play, please have them signup in Sports Connect. The cost is $30 for the school year of pickup play, but I am not rushing to get those payments in (I only activate from the wait list to get you in the email list). Again, this is intended to be recreational and casual play, this is not to coach you or run you, it is to let you have fun playing with peers... friends in a schoolyard style. This is built to scale, the more people we have, the more like a full soccer game we can make it. With low numbers on a Saturday, we will do a small field no keepers, with 20+ we will move to a larger field and potentially have a rotation of people goal keeping. Details and Signup: https://www.corvallisayso.org/programs/19u.html Current players signed up... Thanks, Luke Cotton - High School Pickup Coord. Nicole Chapman - Adult Pickup Coord. |

Corvallis CoachCon 2022 (aka Pizza Party)
10/26/22 1:14 PM
| Hey Coaches! We've had a good batch of responses to the party notice. This pizza party is going to be ... wow. Thursday, 11/3, 6pm, Papa's Pizza. We have something like 170 coaches bringing the goodness to our kids each week. It would be awesome to get at least a third of them at our end-of-season pizza party. Not sure if you can make it? Let us know that you are thinking about it - 25% likely? 60%? 100% Let us know. If you can't make it, let me say that you have done a good thing in spending this time with our kids this fall - helping them grow as young people, encouraging them, teaching them skills and teamwork. It's a lot of work to coach well, and I can say that the results are in and the coaches of Corvallis AYSO have done well. Kudos to Abe and all of the coach instructors who have nurtured and trained a great group of coaches. We are striving to build within Corvallis AYSO, and within the Corvallis coaching community, a real and vital coach community founded on mutual respect, good communication, and the understanding that we are all on the same team with the common goal of helping our kids have fun and develop as soccer players and people. Thanks for doing your part. Coaches on 3! Dan & Abe |

Coach Team! Final games, and a few things
10/19/22 3:50 PM
| Coaches! What an honor to work with such a dedicated group. Final games of the Fall season are upon us, and a much-earned break in the action (and chance to catch up on home projects).
Some of you will help with coaching indoor and futsal action over the winter. Some will take their team to the area tournament. We hope all of you will do the following:
1) Fall player evaluations. When emails go out for fall player evaluations, please take the time to fill them out. It makes a big difference for team formation. In general only 50% of coaches fill this out which does not help us balance teams. Please complete player eval's and help us balance teams.
2) Do some reflection. What did you learn? What worked well, and what didn't? What do you need more training or support on?
3) Out of that reflection, please share anything that we, the Coach Admin and Instruction team, would benefit from. Tips & hints, lessons learned, problem areas?
4) Join us at the end-of-season Coach Pizza Consumption event at 6pm on Thursday November 3rd. We will have pizza, pitchers of soda, kudos, and prizes. To that end, please shoot us a response with percent likelihood of attendance, and preferred pizza type. (eg 75%, Spinach and Sardine), and, if one comes to mind, a specific shout-out to one of the other coaches.
Recap: Player evals, reflection, feedback, RSVP for pizza on 11/3.
Much thanks, and Coaches on 3!
Abe & Dan

[CorvallisAYSO] High School Winter Pickup Play
10/14/22 6:39 PM
| All High School Families, Communications I thought were going out you all, were not. Here is an update... Recap or new information... We were not able to get enough players to run games for this fall and the volunteers needed to get things going were not able to help this fall. Moving Forward... The plan is to approach the division like our Adult pickup play group. For this winter I would like to schedule Saturday pickup soccer times for players to split up and do small-sided games. A volunteer will be present to help get things started, but after that, the players would manage most of the activity themselves, with the volunteer for backup if needed. Your player registration for fall covers the membership/insurance for this idea, if new players want to just join for this winter, they would pay the $20 membership. Once we get to Spring, we will create teams and players will need to pay if they want to join a team. We would keep doing pickup play for High School in the spring. Everyone getting this, your fall payment (usually $30 + membership $20) was applied to the spring game season. If you want a refund for the fall season and do not intend to join for spring games, please fill out this form (refund form). Please email me your thoughts and ideas, should we try this, another idea? Proposed Winter Pickup Schedule: 11/12/2022 - Noon-1:30pm - First Pickup Day @ Adams Area Fields - Meet by Pickleball Court 11/19/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 11/26/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 12/3/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 12/10/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 12/17/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 12/31/2022 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 1/7/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 1/14/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 1/21/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 1/28/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 2/4/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 2/11/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 2/18/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 2/25/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 3/4/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 3/11/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams 3/18/2023 - Noon-1:30pm @ Adams Thank You, AYSO, where kids play in a fun, family environment powered by Volunteers.... including me. |

Corvallis AYSO - Let's Go Team Coach!
10/12/22 10:51 AM
|
Our Coach Admin email this week originates from Coach Andrew Woogen, of the 9U Girls team, Retrievers. (It’s been edited a bit, and sections highlighted, by Abe Drabkin) From Coach Andrew: First off, I feel incredibly lucky to be coaching my daughter. It’s cultivated a cool bond between me and both my daughters. I coached my older daughter last season and this season I am coaching my younger daughter. I regularly communicate with the other coaches. But this past Saturday a big learning for me is that it is important to share with the other coach before the game starts what changes I’ll make if things become unbalanced. For example, if our team pulls ahead by a few goals then I’ll start layering on player development rules like: *shots on goal from beyond the penalty area only *shots on goal with non dominant foot only *shots on goal by non dominant players only. Dominant players pass only. *shots on goal only after X # of passes are completed in the attacking half *loan out 1-2 dominant players. challenge them to score on their own defense. For each goal they score coach does 5 burpees at practice next week. This way both coaches know and we can just flip a switch if/when needed and it won’t be so obvious and keep players from feeling awkward. We have epic team spirit (see pic of our stuffed mascot Retriever and face tattoos attached to this email) and it seems counterintuitive to ask our players to not play their hardest. But now I look at lopsided game management as player development and I know my players want the opportunity to make the Coach do burpees: it’s like a bonus, play your hardest, gain a lead and then earn the opportunity to make the Coach do burpees! One of our developing players has never played before: this is her first season. She is doing some soccer homework at home with her dad and brothers and has improved significantly. Last Saturday I finally put in in as keeper, as she’s been asking, and she performed well. Her dad came up to me after the game and gave me a huge High-5. We have a very timid player as well. One exercise I recently ran was a “bump and run” drill to give all players familiarity with shoulder bumps, first walking and then running, while leaning into each other. The timid player actually liked this drill and by the end she did not want to stop and was basically doing jujitsu to the other players. Next up is an exercise to work on timidness with the ball: one step at a time with this team. I hope all you other coaches are enjoying the natural ups and downs, lessons and challenges of the season like I am. Remember it is all Us Coaches on Team Coach leading all 900-players. Go Retrievers! |

Good Work Coach Team!
9/16/22 8:43 AM

Coaches, thank you for getting practices started and successful first game day of the season last Saturday. We know that you are juggling your own kid's back to school, jobs and coaching duties. AYSO and the players thank you.
We have reviewed all game reports and thank you for submitting them: 99% are positive and we attribute that to your efforts to connect and communicate with your fellow coaches. Well done and continue to introduce yourself and share info with your fellow coaches at practice and games.
Please continue to manage lopsided games by proactively communicating with the other coach and the referees. We heard numerous techniques including limiting attacks on goal to non-dominant foot, sharing players, increasing players on non-dominant team among others. This ensures all 900 players of recreational soccer in Corvallis get the exercise, positive coaching and player development which AYSO wants to deliver.
Please reply to us if you'd like more coach support especially in practice session examples.
At your service, Abe and Dan

Equipment Sale & Soccer Donations: 8am - 12pm TODAY at the AYSO Sheds area (map) If you have old soccer equipment to donate, we will take it. If you would like to swap equipment we could potentially do that (need bigger shoe size?). If you are missing/need/want soccer equipment (jersey, shorts, some socks, shoes, & balls), we can do that. Air Quality: (current status) (OHA guidance) If before the game start, the air quality is in the upper orange category (Bald hill is not visible from the fields 3 miles away), we would cancel a game. Please look to your email, we will be evaluating games and canceling (via Sports Connect) as appropriate. If your game starts at or is after 9:45am, we are likely good to go. As of writing, 5am, we are mid-yellow from the monitor at the EPA office in Corvallis and wind, 7mph, is from the north. Game Day Notes: Please check the fields for holes, if you find them, we have dirt to help fill and could use your help.
Field Takedown: Ending at 12-1, and no other team showing up?
