          GPS Oregon is not an OYSA member. GPS Oregon, nevertheless, is still a living, breathing soccer club. As are the bajillion other clubs in the world that are not OYSA members...or are we not counting them, either?

            Might be living and breathing somewhere but it's a non-entity in Oregon. Just a badge on the shirts of Hillsboro SC rec teams.

              MINIMUM standards to be considered a youth soccer club. Of the 11 requirements, GPS Oregon meets less than half.

              1. Have a Director of Coaching charged with technical oversight of all teams and coaches within the club.
              2. Be a registered corporate entity, either for-profit or not-for-profit, in good standing according to federal and state law, and have a club logo.
              3. Have a mission statement identifying the primary purpose for the club’s existence and its goals in player and personal development of its players. The mission statement should be realistic based on the club and community resources.
              4. Have either a formal governance board or an advisory board to provide guidance and assistance in financial, legal, real estate, and other general business matters.
              5. Have a conflict of interest policy that addresses the recusal of board members that have children in the club in situations that directly involve their children.
              6. Have a clear, hierarchal organizational chart with all staff and their responsibilities, with job descriptions for all full-time staff.
              7. Background checks must be conducted on all coaches and on any adults that will interact with players on a regular basis.
              8. Have a minimum of three teams in the same gender to be considered a “club” for that gender of players.
              9. Have a player and parent code of conduct.
              10. Have a coach’s code of conduct emphasizing that high degrees of professionalism, personal integrity, and maturity are required from all staff.
              11. Have an annual player registration process managed by a club registrar / administrator.

                    Name a club in Oregon that is not recognized by OYSA and plays in OYSA.

                      And these are the old requirements. US Soccer is helping state associations build stricter requirements. This is to stop Billy Joe from being able to start a club based on recruiting.

                        I'm the furthest from a BSC person. It would shock you!

                          You obviously have an agenda that I still have not figured out. I know everything here is political, but please, just come out and state your point. My DD loves her team. They are developing. They enjoy the game. Why should I care what label you or OYSA put on them? Your argument carries no weight because it doesn't matter. Why should I care? Go coach your team instead of spending countless hours trying to tear others down. Or do you lack the confidence to do so and instead choose to take the easy path?

                              Brace yourself, minimum standards are coming haven't seen the final version. What does that mean? The Timbers/Thorns Leagues & Cups are instituting minimum standards for clubs to participate in their leagues & cups. Clever work around that gives the hammer to the Timbers/Thorns to decide who plays in the OYSA & USYS competitions they run as a 3rd party vendor. This is a effort to dismantle all of the upstart bad apple clubs who have no standards other than hype and fee collection. (ADF, NSC, Barcelona, GPS and other of that ilk). This will truly be a popular and powerful tool for the mighty Timbers/Thorns org.

                                Thank you for saving the GPS parents from themselves. I am confident that your posts are not altruistic and have everything to do with making yourself money. The ironic thing about your post is that the teams that have "minimum standards" on paper don't actually live up to them in actions. Look around and see how many coaches are just punching a time clock after they roll out the balls at practice.
