22-23 Planning Meeting
No Board Meeting.
AYSO REGION 149 MINUTES
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.
AYSO REGION 149 MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 2022
In person and online meeting
PRESENT: John Sweet, Dan Herford, Sarah Child, Chris Jordan, Luke Cotton, Mary Cotton, Elaine Markley, Abe Drabkin, Vince Waterhous, Toby Westberry, Justin Azhocar, Andy Ungerer, Nicole Chapman
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:

- 9UB Division Coordinator- Vaessa Boyer
- 13UB Division Coordinator-LeeAnn Baker

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

COACH AND REFEREE TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS

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

[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.

REFEREES: You can use the dashboard link above to signup for games for this team. NOTE: For 1st and 2nd grade groups, we ask that Team Managers work to get or plan to be referees, we do not have this for signup online.

# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 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.

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.
