COMMITMENT

U9 & U10

Tryouts are held for these ages, but mostly it is a playing opportunity to ensure your spot on one of our teams. Players are divided by their level.  This allows the kids to work on the fundamentals of how the game works, dribbling, passing and shooting, with an emphasis on teamwork.  Teams play 7v7 including the goalie.  

They normally practice/play 2-3 days a week and will participate  in 2 tournaments in the Summer.

U11 & U12

Players have to try out for U11 & U12 teams and ranking along with coach evaluations will determine which team level they are accepted to.

The Offsides Rule goes into effect, and now players start to work on strategy along with the fundamentals of the game.  The field gets larger, with another two players joining the field from each team for a total of 9v9 including the goalie.

They normally practice/play 3 or 4 days a week, and participate in a minimum of 2 tournaments in the summer.  Teams have the option of additional tournaments.  

U13+ 

Players have to try out for U13+ teams and ranking along with coach evaluations will determine which team level they are accepted to.  Players should have a strong grasp of the fundamentals of the game.  The field gets larger, with another two players joining the field for a total of  11v11 including the goalie.
