CLUB POLICIES & RESOURCESPLAYER & PARENT POLICIES: New and revised resources for Pelada FA families. Includes:
Parent & Player Code: Revised content and format more clearly communicates expectations upheld by the Academy for participation in its programs.
Attendance Policy: New policy details the best way to report and manage absences; sets expectations for appropriate number of absences per season.
TEAM MANAGER RESOURCES: Suite of guides, tools, and resources for PFA team managers available through Google Apps accounts:
TM responsibilities checklists & communication guidelines Email communication templates
Instructions for using Affinity software Indoor and Tournament Team Formation guides
COACHING CURRICULUM & RESOURCES: New tools and resources for coaches available through Google Apps accounts:
New coach responsibilities & communication guides New continuing coach education policies
New session & match planning resources New video resource index Classroom access
ANNUAL REGISTRATION & FEE STRUCTUREBENEFITS OF ANNUAL REGISTRATION: Streamlines administrative process and player/team continuity. Fewer registration periods for families to remember and complete.
BENEFITS OF SEASONAL REGISTRATION: Flexibility for families.
SYNTHESIS: Pelada has added the option to register annually without removing the seasonal option. Programs will be open for registration during three seasonal windows (Fall, Winter, Spring), and price breaks will be given to families that sign up annually during the fall registration period.
NEW FEE STRUCTURE: The new registration model required a reworking of the old fee structure as well. 2016-17 participation costs have been divided up as follows:
Annual member fee: Paid on player’s first registration of the year. Covers OYSA fees and other registration costs.
Fall / Winter / Spring / Summer fees: Payable season-to-season or at the start of the annual cycle.
BIRTH YEAR REGISTRATIONWHAT IS BIRTH YEAR REGISTRATION?: The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has mandated a change from player/team registration based on school grade (traditionally August 1-July 31) to registration based on birth year (January 1-December 31). Teams built on the birth year model will incorporate players in different school grades and force some players in the same grade to placed on separate teams. Most competitive teams statewide have been completely rebuilt since last spring.
WHY IS USSF INSTATING THIS?: Birth year registration is used by most of the world and USSF sees its implementation as a step toward developing and identifying youth talent more effectively in the future.
HOW DOES THIS EFFECT PELADA TEAMS?: Two of the leagues in which we place teams have gone to birth year registration (the U10 Valley Academy League and the statewide Timbers & Thorns Leagues). As a result, some of our 4th graders were unable to participate with our U10 Primary Academy teams, and some of our 8th graders are now age appropriate for the Timbers & Thorns U15 (traditionally 9th grade) league divisions. Players participating in the Preparatory Academy were largely unaffected due to our participation in the Willamette Valley Youth Soccer League, which has preserved a grade-based registration model.
ANY QUESTIONS?
WILLAMETTE VALLEY YOUTH SOCCER LEAGUELEAGUE DESCRIPTION: The Willamette Valley Youth Soccer League (WVYSL) is the result of a partnership between Pelada FA and the Capital FC Timbers in Salem. Its goal is to support a developmental approach to youth soccer by providing well organized league play for intermediate and recreational teams in the Willamette Valley.while also investing locally in referees and coach education.
PELADA FA INVOLVEMENT: PFA’s Director works alongside Capital FC’s administrative staff to coordinate and manage the WVYSL. Les Schwab Sports Park at Willamalane (PFA’s home facility) is the hub for league play in the southern valley, which has helped drastically reduce travel for PFA Preparatory Academy families.
LEAGUE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Increased membership from 29 to 42 teams between the spring and fall seasons• Added 30+ new officials to the referee pool during the inaugural seasons• Preserved options for grade-based competition in the new birth year registration environment• Decreased travel obligations for dozens of teams throughout the valley• Established standards of fair play for coaches and club leaders involved in the WVYSL
AAC PARTNERSHIPACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT CENTER: The AAC’s mission is to further challenge students, personalize and enrich their learning, and help instill valuable study skills. The need for quality, supplemental education options in the Eugene area created the vision for the Academic Achievement Center.
PARTNERSHIP: Pelada FA and the AAC share core values about education and youth development, and hope to use the new partnership to grow the connection between athletics and academics within both organizations’ memberships and the community at large.
CLASSROOM LEARNING: The classroom is a widely recognized tool for the training of youth athletes worldwide, but one that is nearly universally neglected within our community. Access to the AAC’s state of the art facilities will allow coaches to provide players with opportunities for video reviews, tactical learning, and technical demonstrations that are impossible to replicate on the field.
COMMUNITY CENTER: The Academic Achievement Center will become the primary meeting place for Pelada FA’s community contact events (such as the Annual General Meeting).
2017-18 DATES & DEADLINES BLUE SOMBRERO SOFTWARE: Pelada will be introducing new registration and team management software in Spring 2017 to make registration easier, improve communication channels, and make schedules and other Academy information more accessible for families.

PROGRAM RESTRUCTURED
FOR 2016-17
The Player-Coach program was created to promote mentoring relationships between players of different ages within the Academy as well as to develop future Pelada coaches.
• Centered around summer clinic activities• Involved 2-3 coach training clinics per year led by
Pelada’s senior staff coaches• Was open to players age 12 and older on an
invitation basis• Was free for all participants• Trained approximately 45 coaches during Pelada
FA’s first three years, including four of our current staff coaches
PLAYER-COACH PROGRAM → COACH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY
NEW FORMAT: Going forward, the Player-Coach Program is being redefined to more fully integrate coach identification, education, and support from the youth ranks to the senior coaching staff.
The COACH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY will:
• Make coaching and mentoring opportunities more accessible to our general membership
• Integrate youth coaching activities into Pelada’s year round programs
• Formalize Pelada’s in-house coach education curriculum• Create clear pathways and timelines for training and
certification of coaches Academy-wide• Pay for education and certification of youth and staff
coaches• Remain free for all participants
Highlights: 2015-16 saw record highs in Academy membership and the most complete set of teams in our history. Single age group teams meant that for the first time since founding in 2012 we had age-appropriate opportunities for nearly every player who registered. 2015-16 also saw us overcome league issues in the fall and partner with Capital FC to improve the playing environment not only for our club, but for the entire Willamette Valley.

So far: 2016-17 is once again setting Academy participation records, particularly in the Preparatory Academy where we fielded three teams for every two age divisions this fall. Increased roster sizes have improved the training environment and ability for our teams to perform competitively. New policies, resources, and partnerships have improved player attendance and club practices on and off the field. New Winter and Summer Academy programs will help improve team continuity and bridge the gap between fall and spring seasons.
