Structure of Recreational Soccer 

There is plenty to learn in our progressive and fun recreational program. Our youngest players start with fewer players on the field, a smaller ball, no goalkeepers, and coaches right out on the field guiding them as they go. As the players mature, the elements of the game change. Field size, number of players, and ball size gradually increase, and we see the addition of goalies. This progressive process is designed age-appropriate and grows with the child.

U4, U6, U8

• Small-sided, 4v4 games range from 6-8- 12 min quarters. 
• No goal keepers, U4 and U6 Coach assisting players on field. 
• One night a week practices (Determined by Head Coach) 
• These ages work on touches of the ball and rudimentary concepts of the game. 

U10-U12

• Small-sided, 7v7/ 9v9 games range from 25 min to 30 min halves. 
• Practices two nights per week. (Determined by Head Coach) 
•  U10 works on the added goalkeeper position and positioning of players and the furthered development of skills.

U14 and Up

• Full size, 11v11, games ranging from 35-45 min halves. 
• Practices two nights per week (Determined by Head Coach) 
• These ages continue the development of all Fundamental skills in. 

**Practice**

Teams will practice and train once a week. Coaches will determine the time of practice.
