Team Descriptions

On the younger age teams, here's what to expect

Team Descriptions

Under 6
Let's get things started!  Coed u6 is a great opportunity to introduce kids to the sport of soccer.  Training is held weekly, typically for 45 minutes where foundational soccer basics are taught.  Foot skills are focused on where new players become comfortable moving around with the ball.  This age group does not participate in organized league games, but does scrimmage within their team and occasionally with other area clubs.  

The team participates is fall, winter (1 & 2) and spring. U6 is a great way to become familiar with a team environment and build your soccer foundation.  
 

Under 8
This coed age group is a really fun environment.  In the fall and spring we participate in BCSA "festivals" which are a series of small-sided 4v4 games between multiple clubs, all at the same location but on many small fields.  Each club sends multiple teams.  Games are short, 10-15 minutes, then each team rotates to the next field to simultaneously play the next club.   At each festival our club sends as many teams as can be made from available players and supported by assistant coaches.  

Teams consist of the 4 field players and typically 1 or 2 subs.  Parents mark their player's availability in Demosphere a week before the festival.  The staff then divides the pool of players up into teams and reports to the festival coordinator how many team units will be participating.  This provides great scheduling flexibility for families as parents can elect to participate in as few or as many festivals as they want.

Winter indoor soccer is run in a similar fashion but with a fixed number of weekly teams which must be known at the beginning of the session.  Indoor games are 5v5 and include a goal keeper.
