Game Information
Youth Academy games will be organized differently depending upon the player's age group.
U6/U7: 2019 & 2018 (Birth Years)
Games will be held each Saturday during the season from 9:00-10:00AM.
All available players during game days will be organized into teams on game day. Each team should expect to play 4 small sided games each weekend. Each game will last approximately 10 minutes, then players will rotate with their teams to play a new team. At these early ages, we enjoy to mix the group frequently, in order to give an equal opportunity at success and challenge for each player. Winning and/or losing too much can be detrimental to the developmental process and enjoyment of the sport.
Players in this age group will be free to explore soccer on their own with new teammates each week. Our professional staff coaches, who players see each week at training will be there to coordinate, and reinforce the coaching points and topics of each week, as well as coach from on the field each game.
** As this program’s overarching goal is to provide a path to success, individually tailored to each player and their personal goals, younger players may be promoted to the older group to increase the challenge level. These situations are director initiated and approved.
U8/U9/U10: 2017 | 2016 | 2015 (Birth Years)
Game Schedules change from season to season. As well, each team is subject to play at a different game time each weekend determined by the schedule issued at the beginning of the season. Games are typically scheduled from 10:15-11:15am.
Players in our U8/9/10: This will be a much more structured league on Saturdays in order to prepare them for travel soccer and the next steps on their soccer journeys.
