Overview

14U to 19U SDL creates a positive soccer environment for players to continue to develop their ball skills, enjoyment, and insight into the game. The focus of these programs is player development with healthy competition. Players will likely consist of a mixture of beginners along with players that have been exposed to soccer through their club, school, or friends. Principles of attacking and defending are incorporated into age appropriate soccer activities. Players are placed in coed or all girls teams that are led by a volunteer head coach who conducts practice with support from the Recreational Director. Team practice nights are determined by the volunteer head coach. Teams practice twice a week for an hour and play regularly scheduled 11v11 (including goalkeepers) soccer games typically on Saturdays. All of the rules of soccer are in effect for games.
