Greetings AYSO Parents!
We are excited to announce that our 2023-2024 competitive play programs are getting underway. We plan to offer boys and girls programs in 3 different age groups, however forming teams will depend on numbers as well as volunteer coaches. Please fill out this form (here) if your child is interested in participating in one of our competitive programs next school year. We will be offering a skills evaluation and parent meeting soon so please stay tuned for more information. Please contact our Competitive Program Coordinator, Brian Dolan (here) if you have any questions or if you are interested in coaching a team.

5^th/6^th Grade EXTRA

Indicate Interest (here)

EXTRA is a soccer program for players going into 5^th and 6^th 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:

• Our teams will play a 7-8 game fall season from early September until the end of October and a 7-8 game spring season from early April until the end of May. Teams will practice 1-2 times per week and could start in August. Games are on Saturday afternoons and some divisions may have an occasional Sunday afternoon game.
• Teams will have 3-4 home games and 3-4 away games within the Mid-Southern Willamette Valley League’s upper division. Away game travel might be to areas such as Salem, Dallas, Jefferson, Keizer, Albany, Lebanon, Springfield, Eugene, Newport, Florence, Lincoln City, etc.
• Players will receive 2 jerseys (navy and grey), navy shorts, and navy socks. If your child played in our Extra program during the 22/23 season, then you do not have to purchase a new uniform. The cost for the uniforms plus printing is $75.
• The cost to participate on an EXTRA team is $150 for the year which includes Fall/Spring League (14-16 games), league membership, field use fee, and uniforms. Tournaments are an additional fee. This EXTRA fee is in addition to our core fee. If you do not need a uniform the cost is $75.

7^th/8^th Grade Select

Indicate Interest (here)

Select is a soccer program for players going into 7^th or 8^th 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:

• Our teams will play a 7-8 game fall season from early September until the end of October and a 7-8 game spring season from early April until the end of May. Teams will practice 2 times per week and could start in July. Games are on Saturday afternoons and some divisions may have an occasional Sunday afternoon game. Additional friendly matches or scrimmages may be set up as well as 1-2 tournaments throughout the year.
• Teams will have 3-4 home games and 3-4 away games within the Mid-Southern Willamette Valley League’s upper division. Away game travel might be to areas such as Salem, Dallas, Jefferson, Keizer, Albany, Lebanon, Springfield, Eugene, Newport, Florence, Lincoln City, etc.
• Players will receive 2 jerseys (navy and grey), navy shorts, and navy socks. If your child played in our Extra program during the 22/23 season, then you do not have to purchase a new uniform. The cost for the uniforms plus printing is $75.
• The cost to participate on a Select team is $190 for the year which includes Fall/Spring League (14-16 games), AYSO Membership fee, field use fee, volunteer background checks and training, and uniforms. Tournaments are an additional fee. If you do not need a uniform the cost is $115. If your child signs up for our core program too the cost is $150 (if uniform is needed) and $75 (if uniform is not needed).

AYSO Alliance 2007 - 2009

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

Welcome to the spring soccer season. Weather permitting, this Saturday will be your first game day of the season and below is the rundown of the information pertinent to the 15U division.

1. New Players: Please arrive early and get your uniform from the Safety/Information Shed. You already paid for the jersey and the socks in your spring registration.
   Moved Players or Missing Jersey? Please arrive early and talk to the folks at the Safety/Information Shed. The Jersey is $15, and Socks are $5, we only take cash at the shed.

3. Wear Team Uniform (or team color) (player equipment). (if you need to order/swap a uniform you do that at the safety/information shed)

   • Field Setup: If your game starts at 8:30am, you are first on the field and need to setup the field. If you show up and the trash can with the correct field number is not by the field, you need to send someone to get the can of gear and setup the corner flags.
   • Field Takedown: If no other teams are trying to push you off the field and if your game ends around 1-2pm, you are most likely last. The job is the easiest it has ever been, anything that is not a goal, net, or sandbag should be removed from the field and dropped off at the brown fields shed (again, leave the goals, nets, and sandbags on the fields, for all fields).
     
     
6. We run a Kid Zone (conduct).
   No matter how intense the game can be, kids need cheerful support from the sidelines. Spectators are asked to adhere to the following guidelines:
   1. Kids are No. 1.

8. Game Day Rundown...

       • 5min.
       • Check-in with volunteers to see if any changes are needed.
       • Teams switch sides of the field.
       • Kick-off from the same side (now has the opposite team on it).
   12. 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 the pinnies provided. Coaches should make a reasonable effort to balance the game by trying the following...
       • Shuffle scoring players into non-scoring positions.
       • Non-dominant players allowed to shoot on goal. Dominant players pass only.
       • Loan a powerful player to the other team.

   • Field Takedown: If no other teams are trying to push you off the field and if your game ends around noon or 1pm, you are most likely last. The job is the easiest it has ever been, anything that is not a goal, net, or sandbag should be removed from the field and dropped off at the brown fields shed (again, leave the goals, nets, and sandbags on the fields, for all fields).

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 the pinnies provided.

   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 signup reminder sent each Saturday to report any issues or areas of confusion.
       
       
9. Game Rules...
   1. Quarters (9U=12.5min). Halves (9U=25min)
   2. Offside only occurs past the penalty lines. Think of it like you split the 2in center line and moved 1in of the line to top of the penalty area on each side.
   3. No headers or slides, players need to stay on their feet. An indirect free kick is awarded for any deliberate slide or header.
   4. Substitutions are at referee allowed stoppages and quarters from the half line. 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. This helps the referee see the players needing a swap at the next stoppage.
   5. Once the goalkeeper takes possession of the ball, or when a goal kick has been called by the referee, the defending team (the team without the ball) should immediately run outside the penalty area. No player of the defending team may enter the penalty area until the ball has been put back into play by the goalkeeper.
   6. 9U goal keepers should not drop kick or punt the ball. Discourage, return the ball to the keeper and ask them to redo with a throw.
   7. 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.
    
    
11. Club Linesperson like an Assistant Referee (could be used in any division, no training required, can be a spectator that is 12 years or older)
    
    1. The only responsibility of the club linesperson is to signal when the ball went over the touchline / sideline.
    2. Raise your arm only when the entire ball goes over the entire line.
    3. The Game Coach or Center Referee might ask for a discrete signaling with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or a direction, but you normally do not signal the following...
       • Do not give the direction of the throw-in(9U+) or kick-in(6U-8U).
       • Do not signal fouls.
       • Do not signal when the ball goes in the goal.
       • Do not signal offside.
