Top Questions

Q: Who should attend?

At least one parent or guardian of each player should attend. Players are not required to attend, but they may attend if you cannot find babysitting.

 

Q: When should I arrive?

Please arrive early so that we can start on time. Board members will be on hand at least 20 minutes prior to the meeting to give out team assignments.

 

Q: I can't attend. What should I do?

If you do not attend the Orientation meeting, your team's Team Parent will contact you before the start of the season with the practice schedule and other information.

 

Q: How do I know which meeting to attend?

Unless you have made other arrangements with the Commissioner, your child's division is determined by his or her birthdate:

Division Date of Birth
U6 Sept. 1, 2004 - Aug. 31, 2006
U8 Sept. 1, 2002 - Aug. 31, 2004
U10 Sept. 1, 2000 - Aug. 31, 2002

U14 Sept. 1, 1996 - Aug. 31, 1998
U19 Aug. 1, 1991 - Aug. 31, 1996

 

Q: I have multiple children who are playing. Do I need to attend each meeting?

Yes. Each team will have different coaches, practices, etc.

 

Q: What zone am I in?

AYSO Region 870 is divided into two Zones: Albany and Lebanon. Unless you specifically requested otherwise at registration, your children are placed in the Zone matching your home address. The Albany Zone covers the communities of Albany, Crabtree, Jefferson, Millersburg, Salem, Shedd, Tangent, and Turner. The Lebanon Zone covers the communities of Brownsville, Lacomb, Lebanon, Scio, and Sweet Home. NOTE: All U19 is a coed division. It appears that we will have enough players for separate Albany and Lebanon U19 teams in 2010/2011.

 

Q: Can I submit my volunteer application at the Team Orientation Meeting?

A: Yes. If you have not yet submitted a volunteer application (required for coaches, referees, team parents, board members, and clubhouse volunteers) you may do so at Team Orientation. Streamline the process by filling out the application online at www.eayso.org. Please print two copies of the application and bring them to Orientation.
