Without a referee you cannot have a game, but you can have a scrimmage like in practice. You can see if your game has a referee on the team dashboard (here).

   11. Quarter stoppage. (5/6th Grade @ 15m qtr)

   13. Avoid Blowouts: Let's ensure players & volunteers, leaving the field, want to come back. Coaches, games with final scores like 0 to 6 are unacceptable for rec soccer, make adjustments, at least in the final quarter, to ensure a better balance, even if you can only get to something like 1 to 6. If you are a coach on the receiving end, and morale is not looking good, feel free to propose a forfeit, re-balance the teams, and try a new game/scrimmage with your pinnies. Coaches should make a reasonable effort to balance the game by trying the following options. Always remember to keep referees informed of agreements or additional rules.
       • Step 1 - Adjust Players: up by 3, move strong players into other positions and start adding restrictions (left foot only, only two goals per player, etc.)

   15. No snacks at half-time or at the end of the game. If you have a special celebration, take the team to another area as the next team will be looking to use the space.
   16. Referees return electronic whistles to referee shed.
   17. Coaches return any excess equipment or uniforms to the AYSO sheds.
   18. Coaches can use the game report email sent each Saturday to report any issues or areas of confusion.
   19. Referees can use the game card sent on Saturday to report any issues or areas of confusion. The emailed game card is desired, the physical game card should be used for submitting the digital card. More details later.

   2. Quarters (5/6th Grade =15 min). Halves (5/6th Grade =30 min)
   3. No headers or slides. An indirect free kick is awarded for any deliberate slide or head.
   4. Substitutions are at referee allowed stoppages and quarters. Once a coach confirms with the referee they are allowed to sub a player, they can swap the player(s). This process should be quick, max 15sec. Substituting players should be located at the half line to help the referee see the players needing a swap at the next stoppage.
   5. The remaining rules follow the normal laws of the game (here).
      
      
10. Help, Information, & Equipment: The Safety and Information Shed (Saturday 8am - 1pm) will have helpers and board members available for questions, equipment replacement, uniform swap, uniform order, etc.

Hello, all EXTRA/Select, Volunteer, and Core Rec families participating this spring!! (if you are getting this email, I have down that someone in your family is joining us)

If you are new, welcome :), and please look at the newbies section. If you are not participating this spring :(, please reply with your player's name or volunteer name so we can remove you. We are placing new players now through the coming week, the week after we will be focusing on missing team volunteer roles, shooting to finalize teams before 3/16. Please look below for updates/sections that might pertain to you.


Newbies (just signed up for spring)
Howdy, I'm Luke, and I'll be emailing you a lot, so please look out for email subjects with [CorvallisAYSO] ... even if we are technically all of Benton County, Oregon. To the stuff you care about....

1. Practice: Could start Mon 3/18, but most coaches do a small get-together, then start a regular schedule after spring break. See notes for your grade below.
   1. Preschoolers and kinder players, we do not normally have practices in the week, it is just the Saturday game/activity day. Coaches are encouraged to do a get-together practice early to help ease some of the first day concerns, but that does not always work out, so expect your first thing to be on Saturday 4/6.
   2. 1st & 2nd grade has one practice in the week with the practice times and locations decided by the team coaches, it will be late March when those details are finalized.
   3. Everyone else, the team coaches decide practice times and locations, and it will be late March when those details are finalized.
2. Game Days: All games are on Saturday mornings from 4/6 - 5/18 with start times from 8am-1pm. We send out the schedule in late March 3/17-3/24, with some divisions earlier or later. Divisions with brackets and older grades will take longer. Only some of the older traveling teams could have games on other days.
3. Equipment: You can get your jersey & socks on Monday 4/1 4pm-7pm at the Adams school sheds (we also do the first game day), we will also be selling (cash only) shin guards, used soccer balls, and we have some used shoes if you want to buy or potentially swap. Your player must wear shin guards at all practices and games, so be sure you are always packing those around. The full allowed equipment guide is (here).
4. Rosters & Requests: We work on placing players from 3/1-3/9, and finalizing teams before 3/16. Once you are placed, you will get a welcome email to the team site. That includes the basic team roster, but we often send a more detailed roster, before 3/16, with contact info so you can reach out to coaches. On a Wait List? We will activate you; you need to pay within 3 days, then we will place you with the team. Had a Special Request? If you filled out this form (here), please note, we try and follow your request the best we can. If you are placed, and you see an issue, please reach out to the division coordinator (here).

You will get more info later, hopefully this answers most of your initial questions :). If not, please feel free to reply.


Fall Returners
Welcome back!!! Did you miss my emails?

1. Calendar: A good start is the region calendar (here) and take a scan through the newbies section, it has some of the background pieces not on the calendar (like when is the game schedule coming out).
2. Jersey: Find that uniform and those socks, if not, you can buy them Monday 4/1 4pm-7pm at the Adams school sheds or on the first game day.
3. Roster: You should be able to see the roster on the Sports Connect team page or an older copy (here), and you will likely see some folks are no longer around. Wait a week as we get folks placed, if after 3/13 you see a buddy is missing, a coach is gone, or anything else, please reach out to your division coordinator (here). If you can help, volunteer for your team, please reach out earlier as they are looking at placements to fill volunteer gaps. FYI: Wait List Registration is still open (here) if you are looking for a friend to join.
4. Try on Those Cleats: Not fitting, you can try to swap or donate them Monday 4/1 4pm-7pm at the Adams school sheds or on the first game day.
5. Help: I can use field setup help on 3/30, please sign up to help (here).

Expect more information before 3/16, right now we are focusing on placements and changes from folks not returning.


Coaches
Thank You for helping this spring! :) Take a look at the pieces above, and below are some added parts for you.

1. New Coaches: We will be sending more to you directly, be sure you get registered as a volunteer (guide) to start getting the emails.
2. Practices (coach practice guide) (you can start practices Mon 3/18, it would be good to at least plan a small get-together that week, then start the regular schedule after spring break)
   
   1. Adams Area: If you practiced at the Adams area, Elaine is assuming you are doing the same schedule again... if not, you need to put in a new request (here). NOTICE: fields will be moving, avoiding swamps, and taking advantage of some opened Adams school space... so might be good to choose a rally point for the first practice.
   2. 509J Schools: It would be good to take a look at the schools to see what might work with wetter weather, then get your reservations done in Online (here) (PDF guide).
   3. Philomath Middle School: Expect the baseball areas to be in use, set up a rally point and adjust as you can. Everything is first come first serve... except for baseball and school activities, they will kick you off the field.
   4. Everything else, you get what you get. Notice: turf locations have various restrictions and often have costs, if you are looking at something with an agreement/contract and a cost, you need to check with me first. Grass is what we normally use, and we do not cover the cost of renting a space, so that needs to be an agreement among the parents to pay for that.
3. Training & Refresher: (sign up here)
   Do we have a treat for you! We have our coach refresher and training on 3/16 for all divisions. Get feedback to questions or issues from coaches that coach players in your division. We will get into practical exercises, so you are walking away with a framework for running all your practices this season!!!
   
   1. New: You will want to take the online training before, then signup. This page (here) has all the training requirements.
   2. Returning: Please still (sign up here) so we know our numbers, even if it is a refresher for you.

COACHES We got tips and tricks to help you, join us for the training/refresher, to learn more, email coach Abe (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).


Referees
Thank You for helping this spring! :) Take a look at the pieces above the coach section, and below are some added parts for you.

1. New Referees: We will be sending more to you directly, be sure you get registered as a volunteer (guide) to start getting the emails.
2. Training: We are working on finalizing the schedule for training (likely 4/2 & 4/4 5:30-8pm) and refresher (4/5 6pm), so hold tight.
3. We need a referee training coordinator for 2024-2025 and referee trainers, if you can help Chris, please email him (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Also... always good to double-check you have all your referee equipment, your waterproof bag, and some good shoes for water/mud.

Everyone, that is it for now, please expect more season details around 3/16.
Looking forward to a great spring season... dry, short green grass, spring is lookin' good in my head :)

The season/program fee is $50 and will need to be paid by Credit Card in Sports Connect. 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 an activity group, 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 or cannot make the schedule, the refund could be $48. After we start the activities, no refunds) (refund form).

Basics to Know:

• The focus is more on control, ball handling, & passing.
• The location is a basketball court, court or non-marking athletic shoes are needed, & player contact will be highly discouraged.
• Scheduling will be in hour blocks.
• A head coach will warm up the same group of players each session, split up the group, & run/oversee a futsal game.
• Other opportunities to play in a game setting against groups from Kings Valley will be available for some ages.

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.

• This year we are trying the activity groups model, about 18-20 players are in a group, players split up each time and play a game.
• I will be at your first game to help get things going, if your group is missing a manager or referee, we will need the help this season.
• Arrive early, along with all the AYSO release forms, the Sports Park also has forms you will need to do.
• Shin guards are required. Middle School players should wear turf shoes. Elementary can use court shoes. No cleats of any kind are allowed.
• No jewelry or watches, just like outdoor soccer.
• Wear a white shirt if you can, it makes building teams easier.
• Referees, no need to signup, we are expecting you for each game. If you cannot make it, email the group to see if anyone can cover.
• Team Managers, ideally we have two, but the task can be done with just one. You build teams for each session and try to balance each week, do some rotation and try to keep a balance based on who shows.

FAQ

• What is the refund policy?
  We cannot guarantee that a division will have enough players for teams, if that is the case and we cannot place your player, your credit card will be refunded the full program cost. Players dropping after placement, but before activities, will be charged a non-refundable fee. Players dropping after playing, cannot be refunded. Please fill out the refund request form (here).
  
  
• Are there practices?
  No. For the indoor season, there are no practices. Typically, managers will organize the teams a few minutes before the activity and do a brief (4 minute) kick around.
  
  
• How many activities will each team play?
  Each group will be scheduled to play 6 activities during the season.
  
  
• I currently coach. Can I sign up and keep my team intact for the indoor season?
  We would love to have you coach your child's indoor team. You will not, however, be able to keep your outdoor team intact for the indoor season. AYSO will be forming new teams from individuals who register to play. We adhere to the AYSO philosophy of creating balanced teams to ensure fairness for all.
  
  
• How long are the activities?
  36 minutes.
  
  
• Are scholarships available?
  We are not be able to provide scholarships for indoor.
  
  
• Are special shoes required?
  INDOOR SOCCER SHOES or TURF SHOES are REQUIRED for 6th - 8th graders.
  Court shoes are allowed for all others.
  For safety reasons NO RUNNING SHOES are allowed.
  
  
• How do managers and referees learn about differences between outdoor play and indoor play and the Corvallis Sports Park rules and operating the time clock?
  We will offer some brief training for managers and updates for referees before the start of the first activities.

CARDS:

1. Blue - 2 minute penalty or until opponent scores.
2. Yellow - 2 minute penalty.

Typical Activity Day

Activity Day Gear: The sports park will have a bag with soccer balls and pinnies for players, stored at the front desk. One bag will be for 3rd - 6th, the other bag will be 7th-8th.

Parents: Ensure you player is wearing the right equipment and has a white shirt; first activity 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 activity, 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 activity 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; enter on the ground floor and check in with your manager at the bench seats right next to the field; 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 activity, grab your equipment and leave the field to the lobby.

Team Managers: Bring a printing of your roster (here), the referee could have a roster for you (use the roster for sub/player tracking); if you are the first activity, or the team before you uses different size soccer balls, ask the front desk to check for the activity 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 activity 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 other team manager, find the pinnies, and decide who will wear them; 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 activity 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 activity, gather all the player items from the team box and leave the field, we have little time between activities.

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 activity clock to count down to about 2min before the activity 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 activity 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 activity 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 activity equipment off the field to the front desk if it is the last game of the day.

Activity 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 activity, you will need to hit the button labeled "New activity Options", enter in the time of the activity and hit enter. **

Coaches! Heck yeah, great start to the Fall season.

Your practice sessions, enthusiasm and commitment to the 1,000 AYSO soccer players shows through the fun vibe we all see the past two game days. Thank you.

A few things to consider please:

*continue coach to coach communication pre game, during game and post game. This is key to balancing lopsided games, deal with issues and ensure all 160-coaches are taking care of all 1,000 players. Lopsided game management for team with advantage includes:

*treat each game like a mini Silent Saturday just for you. Take a few minutes break from coaching your players each quarter or half. This allows players to think for themselves and talk to each other. Player development happens when we do this. Honor The Silence!

*Offside is rule for 3^rd graders and older. Super understandable explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFqGzuzH2-w . Please consider watching whole thing. Or check out minute 3:20:  shows coaches using a rope at practice which can be SUPER clear demo for players.

*Corvallis High boys soccer is looking for ball kids for upcoming games. Please share this link with your teams to sign up individual players. Working on ball kid opportunities at Crescent Valley and for Corvallis High girls next…..

En futbol!

Without a referee you cannot have a game, but you can have a scrimmage like in practice. You can see if your game has a referee on the team dashboard (here).

   11. Quarter stoppage. (5/6th Grade @ 15m qtr)
       • 1min.

   13. Avoid Blowouts: Let's ensure players & volunteers leaving the field, want to come back. Coaches, games with final scores like 0 to 6 are unacceptable for rec soccer, make adjustments, at least in the final quarter, to ensure a better balance, even if you can only get to something like 1 to 6. If you are a coach on the receiving end, and morale is not looking good, feel free to propose a forfeit, re-balance the teams, and try a new game/scrimmage with your pinnies. Coaches should make a reasonable effort to balance the game by trying the following options. Always remember to keep referees informed of agreements or additional rules.
       • Step 1 - Adjust Players: up by 3, move strong players into other positions and start adding restrictions (left foot only, only two goals per player, etc.)
       • Step 2 - Loan Players: up by 6, swap or loan players to the other team that will help reverse the course of the game.

   18. Coaches can use the game report email sent each Saturday to report any issues or areas of confusion.

   1. 9 vs 9, including goal keepers.
   2. Quarters (5/6th Grade =15min). Halves (5/6th Grade =30min)
   3. No headers or slides. An indirect free kick is awarded for any deliberate slide or head.
   4. Substitutions are at referee allowed stoppages and quarters. Once a coach confirms with the referee they are allowed to sub a player, they can swap the player(s). This process should be quick, max 15sec. Substituting players should be located at the half line to help the referee see the players needing a swap at the next stoppage.
   5. The remaining rules follow the normal laws of the game (here).
      
      
10. Help, Information, & Equipment: The Safety and Information Shed (Saturday 8am - 1pm) will have helpers and board members available for questions, equipment replacement, uniform swap, uniform order, etc.
