How Do I Form a Toiyabe Team – A FAQ Last edited 10.11.2007 (Download the Coaching Request Application) (Coming Up) What is a Toiyabe team? First thing to know is that a Toiyabe team is an AYSO team. It is subject to all of the rules and regulations that govern AYSO. These include (but are not limited to): each player being offered the opportunity to play in at least half of each match; positive coaching; good sportsmanship. Toiyabe teams are sponsored (or sanctioned) by their home AYSO regions. Toiyabe teams are “coach-select” teams. Unlike the balanced teams of the fall, coaches are free to ask players to play on their team. Players are free to accept or decline, as they wish. Some regions choose to simply extend the balanced team concept to their Toiyabe teams. This is fine too. Toiyabe teams are AYSO teams. This means that all players must be registered in the previous fall season (which actually considered the current season by AYSO – its season runs from fall to fall). Players who did not play in the fall may request a one-time waiver (meaning they will NEVER be granted another waiver) from the Section Director and appropriate Regional Commissioner. Forms for a waiver request are available on the LINKS page of the www.aysocarsoncity.org web site. Waivers can be requested, but are rarely granted. What do I need to send? Where do I send it? Obtain the permission of your Regional Commissioner to participate. For region 140 coaches (Carson City), a Coaching Request Application form must be filled and submitted to be considered for a volunteer coaching position for the spring. The form and guidelines for tryouts for the Region 140 (Carson City) are available online at the www.ToiyabeSoccer.org website and from this link (Coming Up). For all other regions, gather your players and verify their eligibility to play in Toiyabe. Age divisions are based upon the player’s division in the previous Fall season. Prepare an appropriate check. No fees means no team! Fill out the Toiyabe Team Application packet. This is available as an interactive Adobe Acrobat PDF file or as a .doc (MS-Word) file at http://www.aysocarsoncity.org on the Links page and at the www.ToiyabeSoccer.org site. Send in the Toiyabe Team Application packet available at the web
site. These can be saved to your computer and attached to an email

Where are games played? Most games are played at Edmonds Field in Carson City. This is because of the weather and the availability of these fields through Carson City AYSO. However, games can be played on any regionally sanctioned field. For instance, Bishop typically has no problem with snow during the spring, and loves to have teams come down and play. This year, there is again the possibility of Carson City hosting the USYS State cup in May, the games for that weekend if needed may have to be moved or scheduled during the week. Who runs the League? The Toiyabe League is a Section-sponsored activity within AYSO Section 2F. Ultimately, the Section is the authorizing organization. However, since its inception Carson City AYSO (Region 140) has managed the League for the section as a whole. The Region 140 Board of Directors helps with the League, but we really need far more assistance! For instance, each age-gender division needs a coordinator to collect score cards, answer questions, help set schedules with coaches, and so forth. So, some of the positions and help that are needed always are: - Division Coordinators (U10G, U10B, U12G, U12B, U14G, U14B) - Mini-tournament coordinator - Medals and awards - T-shirt design and ordering - Field manager (for Edmonds) Like all AYSO activities, the League is a volunteer operation. What if I have a question, problem, or complaint? Questions should go to the coordinator:
