The focus of this league is 1) SOCCER FUN and 2) The FAMILY. We believe that families are strengthened by participating in wholesome recreational activities together. Our league works hard to provide an opportunity to do this without taking over a family's schedule or pocketbook.
As a recreational league we focus on player development, positive attitudes, character development and sportsmanship, rather than the idea that "winning is everything." Our goal is to provide equal playing time for each player and more touches on the ball. This helps players to develop their technical skills and it makes the game more fun for everyone. We coach through positive encouragement which helps all players have a more enjoyable time and ultimately leads to better-skilled and more-motivated players.
We follow the US Youth Soccer guidelines for "small-sided games," which means smaller fields with smaller teams. 4-6 Year olds play 4 versus 4 with no goalies, 8U plays 5 versus 5 including goalies and 11U teams play 7vs7 with goalies. Small-sided games allow more touches on the ball by individual players and more goals are scored. This fosters positive feelings and makes games more exciting for the kids.
