Let's take an honest look at the OYSA/OPL split.
Clubs and Teams registered for OYSA Winter league:
1. Eastside Timbers (5 boys teams / 4 girls teams)
2. Westside Timbers (7 boys teams / 6 girls teams)
3. Washington Timbers (0 boys teams / 11 girls teams)
4. Bend FC Timbers (2 boys teams / 2 girls teams)
5. Rogue Valley Timbers (3 boys teams / 2 girls teams)
6. Capital FC Timbers (5 boys teams / 3 girls teams)
7. Eugene Timbers (5 boys teams / 4 girls teams)
8. BSC Portland (4 boys teams / 5 girls teams)
9. PCU (8 boys teams / 7 girls teams)
10. Woodburn Athletic (2 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
11. Grants Pass SC (2 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
12. FC Salmon Creek (0 boys teams / 3 girls teams)
13. United SA (2 boys teams / 2 girls teams)
14. Volcano Blue (0 boys teams / 1 girls teams)
15. Southern Oregon SA (0 boys teams / 1 girls teams)
16. La Amistad SC (3 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
17. Pelada Futbol Academy (1 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
18. Milwaukie SC (1 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
TOTALS: 50 boys teams / 51 girls teams (101 teams)
Clubs and Teams registered with OPL for Winter:
1. FC Portland (6 boys teams / 7 girls teams)
2. THUSC (2 boys teams / 7 girls teams)
3. Crossfire OR (10 boys teams / 10 girls teams)
4. FC Salmon Creek (0 boys teams / 2 girls teams)
5. Pacific FC (0 boys teams / 6 girls teams)
6. Hillsboro SC (3 boys teams / 3 girls teams)
7. TFA Barcelona OR (3 boys teams / 1 girls team)
8. THELO (5 boys teams / 1 girls teams)
9. Azul FC (1 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
10. FC West (1 boys teams / 1 girls teams)
11. Valley FC (2 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
12. Corvallis United (0 boys teams / 2 girls teams)
13. Canby United (0 boys teams / 1 girls teams)
14. SO Samba SC (1 boys teams / 0 girls teams)
15. Albany FC (1 boys team / 0 girls teams)
TOTALS: 35 boys teams / 41 girls teams (76 teams)
Which means that the state is so far split 57% toward OYSA and 43% toward OPL. Not nearly the 70% in favor of OYSA as some people love to say.
Had BSC kept their Winter teams with OPL as they originally said they would it would be much closer to 50/50.
By looking at it, the OYSA teams will be traveling A LOT. Either that or the divisions will be regionalized and therefore even more watered down. This could end up with players moving to OPL clubs after this season. However, OPL will be dominated by the 3 bigger clubs; THUSC, FC Portland, and Crossfire Oregon.
