Your child may have played U6. Children, when they reach this age group, could already have played 4 seasons.
If your child is new to soccer this is what they can expect; here are the basics. Your child probably attend 2 practices each week (approximately 45- 60 minutes each) and a Saturday game where there are 4 players’ vs 4 other players.
- Your child should get equal playing time.
- No score is kept in U8
- You will have to purchase a uniform and a ball (size 3)
- You will see your child play soccer more coordinated than at U6 (not falling down as much), starting to be more of a team player and will pass more, can only perform one task at a time, and hopefully still scoring!
- We hope to see you in the bleachers positively cheering for your child!
Note: If it’s not ‘FUN’, your child won’t want to play the sport. Help make it fun.
