Objectives

We continue to focus on introducing the game to young players in small game formats. By reducing the number of players on the field we increase the contact time on the ball and the opportunities for each player to be involved and solve simple problems presented by the game. Small-numbered games increase the level of participation, physical activity, and enjoyment

Team Formation

Teams are formed based on the age groupings of Under-5/U5, Under-6/U6, Under-7/U7, and Under-8/U8. “Under or U” indicates that the team is comprised of players who are younger than the respective age indicated, based on the cut-off date of December 31. Because of this policy no team will have players assigned who are the age of the team or older. For example, no player 8 years old or older would be placed on an Under-8 team. Teams are constructed based on their respective gender.
