Scoreboard Issues
12/02/23 8:09 AM
Hello Coaches and Referees, The Sports Park emailed earlier this week to let us know that they are having issues with their scoreboard. They are hoping to have it fixed by today but, if not, you might have to keep time on a watch. Thank you again for all your help with the indoor season! |

Indoor rule reminders
11/15/23 6:41 AM
Hello All, Thank you for volunteering to coach/referee our indoor season this winter! We received a couple of reminders from the Sports Park and they asked us to pass them along: 1. Please keep the games on time. It take some time to divide the kids into teams. I find it's helpful to have them meet in the lobby area by the shoes about 5 mins before the game starts to divide them before entering the field. Referees please limit warm up time if the games are behind. 2. Please make sure the gates and glass doors are securely closed before starting the game. These could cause serious injuries if left open during the play. 3. No gum is allowed in the facility. Again thank you for all of your help! The kids could not play without you so I know they appreciate you too! |

11/11/23 9:26 AM
Hi Indoor Volunteers, As you know, you are on your own for getting your groups running each activity time. If you do not have a referee, many of you do not, get the players setup and going with a managed scrimmage. I've pleaded and begged, but the reality is what it is, we do not have enough people willing to stand on a field and help run a safe, fair, and fun activity. Do the best you can, and please leverage the rosters I'm about to send if you need to reach out to others for help or coordination. I will be gone the 11/12 - 11/27, and communication will be limited, please reach out to Thank You for stepping up, the 20 kids you work with would have nothing without you. Luke Cotton Acting Indoor Coord. |

[CorvallisAYSO] Indoor Season Start
11/03/23 9:15 AM
Hi All Indoor Families, This weekend is your first activity/game day for indoor (lookup schedule). I have some key notes for you to look at in the top section, full program details in the bottom section, and I will be sending customized group emails later today for your team/group to use for communication.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FAQ
Quick Rules SheetActivities: 18 minute halves w/ 1 minute half
NO KEEPER PUNTING, KEEPER DROP KICK, KEEPER SINGLE BOUNCE KICKS, SLIDING, SLIDING KICKS, PLAYING ON THE GROUND, OR JUMPING OVER WALLS.
OUT OF PLAY / RESTART:
RED LINE VIOLATION: The ball cannot cross 2 red lines in the air. The restart is anywhere on the first red line that was crossed for the opposing team. If it touches the wall, a player, or the ground before crossing the 2nd line, it is not a violation. OTHER RULES:
FREE KICKS
PENALTY KICKS: Penalty taken from the top of the keeper box. Non-kickers line up behind the red line and can move once the ball is kicked. Penalty kicker cannot touch the ball twice (must touch another player). INDOOR FOULS
SUBSTITUTIONS: On the fly. ENTERING FIELD (not from player box) - get referee permission first. CARDS:
Typical Activity DayActivity 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.

10/08/23 5:09 PM
Hello Parents of 3rd-8th Graders, Register (Sports Connect). NOTICE: this year we are building activity groups, 14-20 players show up and split into teams, then play a game. Each group would have a referee and at least one team leader to help with substitutions. All activities will be played at the Corvallis Sports Park. The 6 activities are about 36 minutes long. During the weekdays, activities could start at 4:50 (rare, likely one or two times). Activities on Saturday are anywhere from 12-7pm. There are no practices. This session will go from Nov - Dec, team notifications will happen by end of Oct, with a activity schedule expected soon after. 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 will 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 $45. After we start the season/activities, no refunds) (refund form). NEW Volunteers (Referees & Team Manager/Coach): During player registration, we are asking for volunteer indication. Once we know the team framework, we 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 (Referees & Team Manager/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 we can connect the dots. You will not need to go through the background check process again. Register (Sports Connect). AYSO, where kids play in a fun, family environment powered by Volunteers.... including me. |

[CorvallisAYSO] Area Tournament - 10/28-29
9/30/23 6:45 AM
Hello 3rd-8th Grade Coaches, I have an idea to float by you... Many of you got the email about the area tournament for 10U (3/4th), 12U (5/6th), & 14U (7/8th). It is on Oct 28 & 29 and costs the team $75, you can see the details here: https://www.ayso2s.org/Default.aspx?tabid=952199 If you are interested in the tournament for your team, please signup using the link above, the payment would need to be paid at the Adams information shed on 10/21. All-Star Games on 10/28? This year offers an idea for an additional game day on 10/28, where we schedule teams with close team average scores to play each other for one game on 10/28. In theory, you would be matched to play the team that is closest in skill to your own. In some divisions this will be someone you already played, in others, you might play a new team. Please reply to this email if you are interested or not in the idea. This would be adding one more game day on 10/28, no charge for this. Again, if you want to play in the tournament, please sign up your team... https://www.ayso2s.org/Default.aspx?tabid=952199 Thank You, AYSO, where kids play in a fun, family environment powered by Volunteers.... including me. |

Hey Coach!
9/22/23 10:28 AM
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 3rd 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! Abe |

[CorvallisAYSO] Game Cards - Mmmm Paperwork
9/16/23 6:06 AM
Hello Head Coaches and Referees for 3rd - 8th Graders, Head Coaches, please pickup from the AYSO sheds and fill out your game cards (I often get one done, then ask a parent to duplicate that to all the others). If you forget, helpers will bring out the cards to you today. Referees, please ask for the game cards or remind coaches to get you the physical game cards. After the game return the card to the referee shed and still submit the digital game card. Why? The physical cards will be a record of what players are present and who is scoring. We still want the digital game cards and game reports with total scores and any pertinent notes, but this will help us understand who are the stronger players and who is not showing up. What do I fill out? Coaches do most of the front side (Your Details, Date, & All Player Names (even no-show players)), then hand it off to the referee. Referees, before the game, double check the players that are present and note the players that are not. During the game fill out goals scored, by who, and an any quick notes. After the game write up any notes confirm scores with other volunteers. If you are short on referee help, please feel free to have coaches fill out the cards during the game and collect them after. A blank game card is attached for you to review. Referees (Center Ref): Please submit both the digital game card and drop off the physical game card. You can take the card home and bring it back next week if you want it for your digital card. NOTICE: missing the digital game card link? You can find the link in the referee schedule by filtering based on the day (here). Thank You for your help! Thank You, Luke Cotton - Region Commissioner American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) - Region 149 5060 SW Philomath Blvd #193 Corvallis, OR 97333 Our region is powered by volunteers, like you.

Hello All Core K-8th Grade Teams, Game Day Notes: Parking will be insane, so expect to take some time finding a spot or going to an alternate area to the south and walking.
Field Takedown: Ending at 12-1:30, and no other team showing up? Anything that is not a goal, net, or sandbag should be picked up from the field and dropped off at the brown fields shed (again, leave the goals, nets, and sandbags on the field). Questions? (email archive). Thank You, AYSO, where kids play in a fun, family environment powered by Volunteers.... including me. |

[CorvallisAYSO] Parking on Saturday
9/15/23 4:56 AM
Hi All Fall AYSO Families, Quick Heads up, parking this Saturday will be tougher, a lot tougher. Not only do we have the normal AYSO and pickleball players, but the public parking areas will get OSU football goers with the game starting at 12:30pm. The attached map might help offer a guide, but the biggest help will be carpooling, biking, walking, or using the bus (here)[note they change some stops on game days]. Attached Map Notes: Yellow arrow is an area where you can access the fields. Red arrow is an area to drive/enter. The light yellow border is a border or possible parking area. The Western View Center grass is a bit rough and free range, only recommended for off road cars and it is not guaranteed you will have an easy exit. Only the Western View Center area allows for parking on grass. Knollbrook has some street parking and has an access path that could be closer/easier for folks on field 83 and any of the 80's or 70's. Like normal, avoid parking in driveways. The church to the south might be a good option for those that can drop off and go park. CorvallisAYSO Soccer Fields Map (here) Watch for marked off areas, follow the basic rules, and plan to arrive early. Best of Luck, Luke |

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, shin guards, shorts, some socks, shoes, & balls), we can do that. Uniforms: Teams with all needed volunteers can get uniforms. If your team is without a needed volunteer you can use pinnies for your first game as we work to get the team some volunteer help. Wrong size, need to swap, go to the information shed. We are low on youth sizes so we might be out of the size you want... remember larger can be better for the player in spring soccer. Game Day Notes: Parking will be rough, so expect to take some time finding a spot.
Field Takedown: Ending at 12:15 or 1:30, and no other team showing up? Anything that is not a goal or net should be picked up from the field and dropped off at the brown fields shed (again, leave the goals and nets on the field). No Pets: No pets near the playing areas during any AYSO activities, games, or practices. Please clearly mark service animals to help avoid being asked repeatedly by volunteers (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Questions? Login to Sports Connect to see your team game schedule (here). We have a contact us form (here) if you are trying to connect with a board member.
Thank You, AYSO, where kids play in a fun, family environment powered by Volunteers.... including me. |

Referees,
Fall AYSO is here.

Referee refresher session Friday (yes, this, yes, tomorrow) 6.30-7.30pm at the RefShed.
For new referee volunteers - WELCOME TO THE CLUB and THANK YOU!
(sorry, i just learned how to use the shouting font)
Sign up for matches is open and filling up.
The Game Signup button is still hidden in the same place on the region website.
https://www.corvallisayso.org/referees/schedule.html
Note that the U14 (7th and 8th grade) matches are still being added to the schedule.
We are using S04 (U10, 3rd and 4th grade), S06 (U12, 5th and 6th grade), and S08 (U14, 7th and 8th grade) age division starting this fall to better align with other regions and the local middle school soccer program.

S06 - 9v9, 30min 1/2, size 4 ball, no heading, no slide tackle
S08 - 11v11, 35min 1/2, size 5 ball, regular IFAB LotG
Field names haven't changed. S04 plays on 9x fields, S06 plays on 11x fields, S06 plays on 13x fields.
Fence between main fields and 132 area should be open, so no more trekking around Adams.
All for now, more to follow, welcome to the fall chaos show!

Program Summary Information (learn more) Preschool Developmental The Developmental program is for young players and their parents are introduced to the beautiful and simple game of soccer in a pressure free setting. Kindergarten - 8th Grade Recreational AYSO core program offers recreational soccer for multiple levels of players, now based on player grade...
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. (Indicate Interest) 7th-8th Grade Competitive Select 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.
