 [CorvallisAYSO] Fall Team Meetings and Worksheet 
 8/29/26 7:25 AM 

Hello Fall Soccer Volunteers,

We have been a bit shorthanded this year on the board (more to come), so a lot will be coming your way over the next few weeks. Presently, you could start practices. Depending on your team's situation, you might be all set to go, or you might need to get the parents together for a meeting/activity next week. This email, along with the team worksheet ( https://corvallisayso.org/form/team-worksheet ), tries to get you started with those meetings/practices.


Kinder Division
Coaches, you do not have practices in the week, only games on Saturday... but it would be good to have at least one meeting/activity before your first game. It is also a good opportunity to recruit help, and it tends to be best done in person. You can collect soccer balls, even if you are without a second coach, at one of the equipment events below. Regarding training, you can get that at one of the events in the calendar below; the RSVP page lists all the trainings you need to do.

1st & 2nd Grade Divisions
Coaches & managers, you have practices to schedule and likely volunteers to recruit. We outline the details about practices in the coach practices page. Get the team started by setting up the first meeting/practice in this next week. In-person recruitment is the best way, and people show up for a practice. You can collect soccer balls, even if you are without a second coach, at one of the equipment events below. Regarding training, you can get that at one of the events in the calendar below; the RSVP page lists all the trainings you need to do.

3rd, 4th, 5th/6th, & 7th/8th Grade Divisions
Coaches & managers, you have practices to schedule and likely volunteers to recruit, especially a referee. We outline the details about practices in the coach practices page. Get the team started by setting up the first meeting/practice in this next week. In-person recruitment is the best way, and people show up for a practice. You can collect soccer balls, even if you are without a second coach, at one of the equipment events below. Regarding training, you can get that at one of the events in the calendar below; the RSVP page lists all the trainings you need to do.
Referees, regarding training, you can get that at one of the events in the calendar below; the RSVP page lists all the trainings you need to do. Once the game schedule is done, you will have the opportunity to sign up for refereeing games.


Common Questions
The game schedule is in process; if I do it too early, coaches could be stuck with overlapping games... so it takes time. Tell families the first game is sometime 9/12 from 8:15am-1pm.
I hope to get the all-in-one email (it breaks everything down for you about your division and game days) completed on Sunday, and it will include the details of your first game day.
Team rosters are a bit in flux as we work with the hundreds of players that signed up in August. Shooting for Monday to send you your team rosters with player and volunteer details.
I'm missing referees or other volunteers; the team worksheet (linked above) tries to help with that and offer ideas for recruitment. This is a common issue, and our division coordinators are trying to help, but the best recruitment method is in person.


Website Updates

Equipment Pickup

We have two dates available for equipment pickup. Equipment pickup will be at the sheds by the soccer fields.

  • Saturday, August 29th: 10:30 AM–12:00 PM
  • Saturday, September 5th: 11:30 AM–12:30 PM

Equipment includes:

  • A bag of soccer balls
  • A coach's bag containing:
    • Pennies
    • Cones
    • First aid kit
    • Ice packs
    • Period packs for 4th–8th grade girls' teams

Important: You must have all required volunteer roles filled for your team in order to pick up your coach's bag.

If your volunteer roles are not yet filled, you can still come pick up a bag of soccer balls if you will be starting practices soon.

Required Volunteer Roles

Please make sure your team has all of the required volunteers:

  • Kindergarten–2nd Grade: Head Coach + Assistant Coach
  • 3rd & 4th Grade: Head Coach + Assistant Coach + Center Referee
  • 5th/6th & 7th/8th Grade: Head Coach + Assistant Coach + Center Referee + Assistant Referee

In order to keep player fees as low as possible, we are a 100% volunteer-run organization. We need everyone's help recruiting volunteers to make the season successful.

Please start sending emails to your team parents asking them to volunteer. If you need help recruiting or have questions about the volunteer roles, please reach out to your Division Coordinators. They are happy to help!

Practices & Parent Meetings

Practices can begin Monday, August 31st.

Please start thinking about scheduling your parent meeting. This is a great opportunity to:

  • Introduce yourself and your coaching staff
  • Go over expectations for the season
  • Recruit coaches and referees
  • Answer parent questions
  • Make sure everyone understands how they can help support the team

Once all volunteer roles are filled for your team, please complete the Team Worksheet so we can update your team name.

Team Worksheet

Schedules & Rosters

We are still working hard to get the game schedule finalized. We are also currently in the process of adding waitlist players to teams, so you may see some roster changes over the coming days.

Thank you all so much for your hard work, flexibility, and willingness to volunteer your time. We truly appreciate everything you are doing to get your teams ready for the season!

We couldn't do this without you!


Thank you,

 [CorvallisAYSO] Important Coach Information, Training Dates & Practice Fields 
 8/21/26 1:41 AM 

Dear Coaches,

Thank you so much for volunteering to coach this season! We truly appreciate your time and commitment to our players and families. My name is Katie Zeiner and I am the coach administrator for AYSO Region 149. I am here to answer any coaching questions you may have. 

I wanted to share some important information and upcoming dates for the season.

Coach Training

Every year, we require all coaches to attend an in-person field training for their age division. This year, we will be offering three training dates:

  • Saturday, August 22: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
  • Saturday, August 29: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
  • Thursday, September 10: 5:30–8:00 PM

All trainings will be held at the soccer fields by Adams Elementary, near the sheds.

Please bring a water bottle and wear athletic clothing, as you will be participating in soccer activities during the training.

You can sign up for a training here:
https://www.corvallisayso.org/form/training-signup

Practices & Equipment Pickup

Practices can begin Monday, August 31st.

Equipment pickup will be Saturday, August 29th. In order to receive your team's coaches bag, please make sure all required volunteer positions are filled. The coaches bag includes pennies, cones, a first-aid kit, and ice packs.

Each team must have:

  • 1 Head Coach
  • 1 Assistant Coach
  • 3rd/4th Grade: 1 Referee
  • 5th/6th & 7th/8th Grade: 2 Referees

If your team is still missing required volunteers, you will only be able to pick up a bag of balls at equipment pickup. Please start reaching out to your teams now to get parents to fill these roles. 

Practice Field Requests

If you would like to request a practice field at Adams Elementary, please use the following form:

https://www.corvallisayso.org/form/adams-fields.html

Fields are filling up quickly, so please submit your request as soon as possible.

For Philomath teams, Philomath school locations will now require reservations through the school district's facility reservation system. You can access the form here:

https://www.philomathsd.net/district-home/departments/facilities

Scroll to the bottom of the page, click on Facility Use Rental Request, and complete the Google Request Form.

Practice Time by Age Division

Please keep the following practice limits in mind when requesting fields at Adams. Adams field reservations are for half of a field only, and you may only request the amount of time allowed for your age division.

  • 7th/8th Grade: 2 training sessions per week, 1½ hours each
  • 5th/6th Grade: 2 training sessions per week, 1 hour each
  • 3rd/4th Grade: 2 training sessions per week, 1 hour each
  • 2nd Grade: 1 training session per week, 1 hour
  • 1st Grade: 1 training session per week, 1 hour
  • Kinder: 1 training session per week during the first 30 minutes on game day
If you are looking for additional practice time, please use city parks or other schools in the area. Crystal Lake fields will charge you to use their fields. AYSO is not responsible to pay any field fees. 

Field & Goal Reminder

If you move goals during your practice, please make sure to move them back to the designated dead area by the big field when you are finished. We need to keep the goals together and off the playing fields so the school district can mow the grass. The district will not move the goals in order to mow, so please make sure they are returned to the designated area after every practice.

Attached is the Fall 2026 field map for your reference.

We are working hard to get each division filled and to finalize the practice and game schedules. Thank you for your patience as we work through the final details.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime, and thank you again for volunteering to coach this year. We truly appreciate your time and dedication!

And please go sign up for your coach training! We look forward to seeing you on the field.

Thank you,

Katie Zeiner
