Spring 2020 Limited Application Online

Wait Listing: We use wait lists to ensure we do not charge you until we have a spot on a team that could work for your player. You would go straight to a wait list registration, complete that and pay $0, and when we have a spot, the system will contact you about the player transfer off the wait list.

New Players: You can complete the entire registration online! Normal price is $90 for spring.
New players to AYSO need to verify DOB (can be done online).
Scholarship Players: You can also complete your entire registration online. Cost at checkout would normally be $40. No need to show at an event.
Volunteer Application: New this year, we are asking volunteers to indicate interest on the player application, we will follow up in March to finish the application online. No Player? Volunteer (here)

Special Requests

Placement Request?

Fill out this form (here); use the categories to select what you are requesting. Types of requests include Team Friend/Buddy (want to be placed with this one other player), Play Up a Division, Not Placed With (volunteer or player), Volunteer Buddy (want to volunteer with this person), Player w/ Family Volunteer (family volunteer has independent account and is not associated to the player), & Medical / Developmental / VIP Placement. We cannot guarantee requests will be honored. Please fill out two forms when needed, for example if you wish to play in a higher division with a friend, please fill out one form for each request.

Team Formation

How are teams formed?

We ask registration questions and use player evaluations to try and balance teams, this is a secondary priority during team formation. Parents have consistently indicated practice areas/zones or schools should be our first priority. For younger ages we look to group players by schools, if that does not work, or we do not have enough players, we go by practice zones. Older ages are by practice zones, and we attempt to do some balancing with neighboring zones when possible.

I live in Philomath, Monroe, or Newport. Will I have to travel to Corvallis for practice?

We will form separate location teams wherever possible, when the team balance works for the division. If we are not able to get the number of players or balance the team, we will use practice zones to get you on a team near your location.

The zones by city will be honored when possible, if not we will notify you.

Application Times

When is Registration?

We run a member year, the member year is exactly the same as a school year (Aug-Jul).

Three types of registrations:

Open Application in May registers for both Fall and Spring.

Includes at least two registration events. This registration time allows us plenty of time to work on placement requests and get uniforms for all players.

Limited Application in August for School Year and in February for just Spring.

This registration is only to fill vacancies on teams. In some circumstances we will add new teams. This registration time has no guarantees, i.e. we will not be able to fulfill special placement requests or special orders for uniforms will not arrive until late in the season.

Deadline Application before first game.

This registration is only to fill a team NEED, and it is usually conducted with the instruction of team formation. This registration time has no guarantees, and could result in adjusted costs because we can not get uniforms for the player.

Practice Zone Map (for practice area grouping)

The zone for Philomath or Monroe will be honored when possible, if not you will be placed with a south zone team. The zone for Newport will be honored or we will notify you.
