= Out-Of-Region-Play-request from your team with ID and Coach name submit not later than 24 September
= Include a list of all adult volunteer (admins) names and their roles/positions working for the team.
= Volunteers not change allegiance to teams after game day 6 in region 73 season unless board approves.
= OORP-request asks approval to play tournaments and requires monitoring and evaluation during season.
= Tournament Applications must not affect region 73 season play schedules in any way. The region must approve.
A team is eligible for OORP when they meet 4 things:
1. The team is in good standing with region 73. Show respect for volunteers and AYSO soccer program
2. Fulfill all the requirements + Observations by staff members of all team members including the parents.
3. Team adult volunteers which are fully trained and certified* Competence requires minimum 60% game experience.
4. Child development and fun promoted over "win at all cost."
It is a plus for teams which promote volunteering as AYSO cannot continue without sufficient volunteers.
Region-73 supports a team which can make a good impression at all invitational tournaments.
Below is an example but not a limited check list when board members monitor and evaluate a team:
