Classic U11-U14
FALL SPORTS
U11 - U14 / Classic League
Oregon Youth Soccer Association: www.oregonyouthsoccer.org
A league also known as, Competitive, is for Girls' and Boys' in the U11 - U14 age group (Age Chart, Page 3), ( All Classic Players Will be required to provide a legal copy of their Birth Certificate for proof of age before they can play in any Classic games) Classic Soccer is provided by OYSA to sanctioned member clubs looking for an option for teams winning a majority of their WYSA and/or DRL games and ready for a higher level of training and competition. Teams will be selected by player assessment scores and families may not make 'special requests for a coach / team' or use the 'buddy system'. Once teams are formed, players qualifying for team selection will receive an 'offer' to either accept or decline within 24 hours. Athletes declining an offer or not selected to a Classic team may be placed on a DRL or WYSA team, pending coach / team availability. Listed below is an overview of the technical and tactical skills coaches will be expected to teach and athletes should be able to perform for their appropriate age level at the conclusion of the season. To achieve this goal, every team practice must be a structured environment for athletes to enhance their skills to be able to take their game to the Molalla High School Soccer level.
In addition, U10 designated players may register to play for a U11 team, following the MYS Athlete Eligibility and Team Assignment SOP. With this state-wide program change, each U11 team will be limited to how many U10 players can be assigned to a team.
As a non-profit organization, our coaches are not paid for their services. All MYS coaching personnel, including Classic, is volunteers.
