The following girls travel soccer tryouts will be held this month:
U8 (born 8/1/96 through 7/31/97) — Players will be educated on proper soccer techniques and introduced to the game in a fun environment throughout the year.
U9 (born 8/1/95 through 7/31/96) — Players will have proper techniques reinforced and continue to enjoy the game in a fun environment; 1v1 skills will be taught and utilized continuously at this level.
U10 (born 8/1/94 through 7/31/95) — Proper technique is still the main focus and will be used in small-sided game situations. Players will be taught the basics of the first and second attacker and defender in a fun environment.
U11 (born 8/1/93 through 7/31/94) — Proper technique is expected to be understood at this point and will continue to be reinforced during small-sided game situations. These game situations are designed to reinforce the basics of team attack and team defense, which are taught at this level. This will be a competitive environment. Fun and learning is still the main element of the system. It is expected that soccer is the player’s main hobby and parents make every effort to support their commitment. Camps, tournaments and clinics throughout the year should be expected.
