Parents participate in some drills (running and kicking) and are there mostly for support. The format is a clinic with the coach and his/her group of kids. This is co-ed. This is non-competitive and the goal is fun!

LOWER DIVISION
Beginning in Fall 2025, we are excited to announce some new changes to our recreational program with a new game format for our Lower Division U7 to U8 age groups. We are changing the way our younger players play the game!
The Lower Division U7-U8 age group will play 5v5 (4 field players + 1 goal keeper). The rosters for each team will also be smaller to encourage more playing time for all players. In addition, the girls will play girls and boys will play boys, no more co-ed for this division.
This model (5v5) will allow for a 50-60% increase in touches on the ball and player actions. This will further encourage player development and soccer awareness.
Practices will be run by certified trainers with an additional option of parent/coach practice. Games will be on Saturdays and run by parent/coach volunteers. We will need LOTS of parent/coach volunteers for game day.
Age: 6 & 7, born 2019 & 2018 - U7 & U8
Dates & Times:
Games: Saturdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM - the game times will change each week - and games will last 60 minutes. The season is 10 weeks.
Practices: Days and times are still TBD. 1 day will be run by certified trainers with an additional option of parent/coach practice.
When does the soccer season begin? Our Fall season starts in September and runs through the middle of November. The Spring season begins in early April and continues through the middle of June.
