President’s Message
BYSL Director’s of Coaching Message
A letter regarding risk management was sent to
all of our members in August by email.
However, it is important enough that I am
including the letter in its entirety again:
Dear Parents and Guardians of BYSL program
participants,
BYSL Board of Directors is actively working to
increase the Risk Management resources
available to coaches, parents and players and to
increase our own focus on Risk Management. It
is vital that there are at least two (2) adults at
every BYSL activity for the protection of both our
children and our volunteers. Parents, when you
drop off your kids, please make sure that there
are two adults present before you leave. Also,
please make sure that your kids are picked
up on time. If you see that a coach is going to
be left with one kid when you leave the field with
your own kid, please take a few minutes to get to
know the coach better and wait together for the
last kid’s ride. Ensuring the safety of our
coaches, volunteers and players, requires the
action and care of all parents and responsible
adults.
Parents-please do not leave our
coaches and players in awkward
situations and help us protect all of
the kids and volunteers who
participate in our Programs!
Dan Beck, BYSL President

Summer is over—School has started—and the YDP, U12, Jr.
High, High School and College soccer seasons are underway! A
few thoughts for the upcoming season…
Children are not young adults. Understand why US Soccer has implemented new standards for small-sided games. Include unstructured play as well as non-competitive activities in training.
Promote multiple-sport participation and extracurricular activities.
Encourage teamwork and team values, leadership, goal setting and sportsmanship. These attributes carry over to life off the play field.
Strive to develop creative soccer players with technical skills and tactical ability to solve problems. “How” and “Why” are paramount for success.
Recognize fatigue, stress and anxiety in young players. Overuse injuries can have long-term consequences. Rest is a component of training.
Understand BYSL’s coaching requirements and expectations in regards to concussion safety, risk management, licensing, and recruiting policies.
Participate in NSCAA and USSF in-person and online certification courses and training opportunities. Coaching course costs are reimbursed by BYSL.
Attend or volunteer at youth, college, or professional soccer events.
New and experienced coaches alike: Enjoy the journey.
Embrace the challenge. Encourage the spirit of the game and
the growth of our children through a positive soccer experience.
Good luck, have fun, and Thank You for supporting the soccer
community.

During the Spring season there are several tournaments through
out the local area and in Boise as well as in surrounding states.
Competitive teams may travel to Utah, Vegas, Colorado, or Montana
tournaments. Which tournaments each team (or club) travels too are up

missed. I’ve failed over and over
and over again in my life. And that
is why I succeed. –Michael Jordan

covered include coaching methodology, small-sided
games, and communication and motivation. To earn the

RISK MANAGEMENT REMINDER: BYSL’s Board of Directors is actively working to increase the Risk Management resources
available to coaches, parents and players and to increase our own focus on Risk Management. It is vital that there are at least two (2)
adults at every BYSL activity, for the protection of both our children and our volunteers. Parents, when you drop off your kids, please
make sure that there are two adults present before you leave. Also, please make sure that your kids are picked up on time. If you
see that a coach is going to be left with one kid when you leave the field with your own kid, please take a few minutes to get to know
the coach better and wait together for the last kid’s ride. Ensuring the safety of our coaches, volunteers and players, requires the action
and care of all parents and responsible adults. Sincerely, Dan Beck, BYSL President.

Old Butte Fields #4-6
Check-in: 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Tryouts: 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Players must “pre-register” online prior to tryouts.
Tryouts for spring 2016 competitive teams are fast approaching. BYSL urges you to register
online now. Go to “byslsoccer.org” and click “Register.” Online registration will remain open
until October 29, 2015.
If you do not have access to a computer or need help with online registration, you can come to the BYSL office at
410 Memorial Dr. Suite 201, Idaho Falls from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Tuesdays for assistance in
registering. If that time does not work for you, please call Dan Beck (206-5588) to arrange another time.
There is a “Tryout Fee” of $40.00 which you must pay at or before tryouts. The tryout fee will be refunded
if your player cannot be placed on a team. If your player is placed on a team, the fee will be applied to the
regular BYSL fee, the remainder of which will be collected by the team along with any club fee, which varies.
If there is space on a team for your player and they choose not to play after tryouts, the $40 fee will not be
refunded.

BYSL Tryout Information
WHAT TO EXPECT
BYSL TRYOUTS: Players must register online (go to
byslsoccer.org for the registration page) before tryouts.
During the registration process, players will be able to
select 1st, 2
nd , and 3
rd choices for teams. At the end of the
tryouts, players may change their coach preferences by
going to the BYSL check-in table. (You are required to
pick a minimum of two coaches.) Not everyone gets their
first choice, and players who do not indicate sufficient
choices will simply be placed on available teams by BYSL)
Online registration will close on October 29, 2015, so be
sure to register before that!
If you aren’t comfortable using computers or have technical
difficulties in registering your player, you can come to
410 Memorial Drive, Suite 201, Idaho Falls on any
Tuesday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for assistance.
When players arrive at tryouts they must check in at the
BYSL Check-In table. If the player did not pay the tryout
fee online (you can pay online by credit card or echeck, or
choose to pay by check), they will need to bring the $40
tryout fee with them.
Coaches will be provided with a list of all players that pre-
registered for their use in evaluating players during the
tryouts. If you do not want coaches to know your
preferences prior to the tryouts, you can select “I prefer to
choose at tryouts” as an option when you register. If you do
identify coach preferences, that information will be
conveyed to the coaches the morning of October 31 for
their use in evaluating players.
At the tryouts players will be given directions as to which
teams/coaches they must attend, as it may vary depending
on the number of teams available in a specific age group.
Players should expect to visit 2 or more teams’ tryouts.
Coaches use the tryouts to develop their list of Player
Preferences. At the end of tryouts, the Team/Coach
Preference forms from the players and the Player
Preferences from the coaches are evaluated to match teams
and players.
Once a player has gone through the Tryout process (&
has indicated their team preferences on the team/coach
preference sheets, those players are now considered
“Committed” and contact to/from representatives
(Parents, Players, Coaches, Managers, etc.) from
another team is considered Illegal Recruiting & IS NOT
tolerated.
CHOOSING A CLUB: Choosing a club can be
challenging especially if you’re new to the tryout process;
however, a checklist of FAQs that a parent should consider
when choosing a club is provided below.
CALENDAR YEAR CHANGE: In August, 2016, US
Soccer is mandating that all US Soccer affiliates, which
includes BYSL, change to a “Calendar Year” system
instead of a “School Year” system. It is optional whether
BYSL teams adopt this change for the Spring, 2015 season.
If you see a team with a “01,” “02,” etc. designation, that
means that team is seeking players in that year (IE an “01”
team is seeking any players born in 2001, whether they are
currently U14 or U15).
Because of the change, IYSA has temporarily suspended
the restrictions on 1 year play ups, which will allow teams
to stay together if they choose; however, if a team stays
together, it may mean that a large number of that team’s
players will be “playing up” against older competition,
which can make a significant difference if the team intends
on traveling to high-level tournaments. Some teams not
traveling to tournaments may decide that the competitive
disadvantage of having lots of “play up players” is not
outweighed by the advantage of keeping a group of friends
together.

BYSL Tryout Information – Cont’d
CHOOSING A CLUB Choosing a club/team during tryouts can be a confusing
process. It is wise to ask a lot of questions prior to arriving
at Tryouts and needing to make a final choice. Consider
your son/daughter’s own goals, ambitions, and skill level.
Below are some additional considerations. Interested
parents can contact the “Club Presidents” or the BYSL
Director of Coaching, whose contact emails are listed on
the List of Coaches above to ask specific questions
regarding teams or to obtain specific contact information
for coaches.
1) You want to find a team that your child has (or can
make) lasting friendships. It helps to have friends on
the team both in terms of enjoyment and in your
ability to car pool, etc. You may want to consider how
a specific team intends to address the change to a
Calendar Year system.
2) You want to find a team that is at the right level of
competitive soccer. Some teams are very competitive
which will affect the amount of play time for each of
the players, the amount of time commitment (how
many games and practices per week), and the overall
expense of the spring season (team fees and travel
costs). Be aware that spring soccer is more
expensive than fall soccer mostly due to tournament
fees and traveling costs (some clubs offer partial
scholarships to offset these costs).
3) Don’t stress too much during tryouts, remember, they
are supposed to be fun.
4) The first time you attend tryouts, it will seem hectic
and slightly overwhelming. It is recommended that
you arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to complete
your paperwork and to relax before taking the field.
5) Bring ball, shin guards, water.
6) Don’t forget to PRE-REGISTER!!!
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
Here are some questions you may want to ask the different
coaches at the BYSL Open House to help you decide which
team (& coach) is your first, second, and third choice:
(Remember to pick multiple choices.) What are your goals for the spring season?
What is your coaching philosophy?
How many times do you plan to meet/practice per
week
When will your spring practices begin?
What will your team do when the Calendar
System change comes into effect?
What are your coaching credentials? And
coaching Experience?
Where will you practice? How long are the
sessions?
What tournaments are you planning on entering,
and how many?
How much travel will be involved (day trips vs
overnights)?
Who are your assistant coaches?
Are there any additional activities for the team?
What is your plan for the Indoor season? Is it
mandatory?
What is your plan for winter conditioning?
What is your player substitution policy?
Playtime?
How do you manage conflicts between
music/sports/church activities?
Does your team play Sundays?
How does the club support the team?
What are your expectations from the parents?
What is the expected total season cost?
