2011 Regional
Select Program
These
guidelines do not supersede
AYSO National Rules and Regulations, and the
Area 1F Travel Team Guidelines, but are intended to cover those
situations not addressed by them, and they shall prevail in case of
conflict.
The program is considered a post season extension with teams formed with the
approval of the Select Committee. It is only available for U10 and above.
Coaches and players must meet the National and Area 1F requirements to
participate. Missing games because of scheduling conflicts with other
sporting activities would not be considered extenuating. Players are invited
by the accepted coaches to play and are typically more technically proficient players.
The Select leagues and tournaments are very competitive.
The
Program is split into 2 groups:
Year
Round Select (aka "Fall Select")
- starts practices in November and plays until July 31st. This year we
started later with teams practicing in November. The team may play in 5 or
more tournaments. Xmas classic, Founders cup, Armed Forces and PV Spring
League are the local tournaments. The select coordinator will supply
information on additional opportunities. Players on this team are more
committed to soccer and consider it their primary sport. Kids playing in
multiple sports or on a club soccer team and coaches should consider their
level of interest before signing up for the Year Round Select program.
Spring
Select- starts at the
end of the primary fall season, plays in the PV Spring League and is
encouraged to compete in the Founders Cup tournament. The Coach and parents
can agree to play in more tournaments if there is sufficient interest. Where
practical (depending on coach and player interest), multiple teams in each
division may be formed.

Practices:
Fall season
and post-season area playoff teams have precedence and practices must
schedule around these commitments. Until January most practices are
scheduled on Sundays to avoid conflicts.
Coach
Selection:
Coaches
should contact the Regional Select Coordinator as soon as possible. Coaches
are approved based on experience, behavior and fitness to represent the
region in a positive manner. Coaches must have coached in the Fall 2011
season either as an Assistant or as a Head Coach to be considered. As part
of the selection process the Division Coordinators, Regional Referee
Coordinator, and Coach Administrator will be solicited for advice. Coach
approvals are recommended by the Select Committee and approved by the
Regional Commissioner. No coaches are guaranteed a spot. Coach training at
the following levels is mandatory:
U10 - U12
Coach.
U12 - U12
Coach.
U14 -
Intermediate Coach.
U16/U19 -
Advanced Coach.
Player
Selection Process:
Unless
approved by the Select Committee, no coach may approach or discuss
Select with a player or parents. Any queries about the program should be
sent to the Select Coordinator. Any coach found violating this policy will
be barred from coaching in the Select program. Coaches are not allowed to
recruit players committed to another team.
Uniforms:
The region
has adopted a single uniform and numbering plan. Uniforms will be purchased
through the Region Uniform Coordinator. For each Division a player will be
assigned a unique number each year, this will facilitate the combining of
teams to play in tournaments later in the season.
Funding:
Each Select
team is financially independent from AYSO and is 100% self funded. Team
expenses may be audited and reporting of expenditures may be required at the
discretion of the region. All tournament and uniform expenses are paid for
by a regional check once teams have deposited sufficient funds with the
region. Typical Team expenses are:
Uniforms -
$50 per player.
Tournament
Fees - about $50 per player per tournament. Some of this may be refunded if
you provide a referee team.
Gas and
Travel expenses to non Area 1F tournaments.
For any
questions regarding the Select Program, please contact our Select
Coordinator.
The Select
Coordinator provides tournament information, coordinates tournament roster
signatures, regional checks and is the primary contact with Tournament
Directors. |
