15 x 30 Yard Fields	4 v 4; No Goalies	No Offsides
Four 10-Minute Quarters	No Scores are Recorded	Cleats are NOT required
Co-Ed Teams
Practices are one day a week; games Saturday mornings and foot skills will be offered on game day mornings pre- game play.
Focus will be on dribbling skills, directions to attack/defend, and staying within the playing area.
Players will learn to make all types of ball moves in the passing motions. They will work on inside foot passes, trying to not use the laces or shooting foot, even while trying to score. The main focus will be to teach the turning of the foot in the passing motion.
All out of bounds at the end lines will be goal kicks. No corner kicks at this age group. If the ball touches the line, it is out of bounds and quick play back in will be encouraged to keep them active. If the play is stopped try to encourage over the head throw ins.
