U9/U10 Boys and Girls Leagues
- U9/U10 soccer becomes more formalized as teams travel to neighboring communities such as Hampton, North Hills and others to play games.
- U9/U10 soccer plays six players on the field and a goal keeper (7v7). This small sided formula on a small field provides for lots of opportunity for players to become familiar with the game's demands for offense and defense.
- It also adds new rules for play such as off-sides.
- All ball handling is called in accordance to the regular FIFA rules of soccer.
- Throw-ins are scrutinized and called if done improperly.
- As with younger age groups, each child is placed on a team that practices each week with a volunteer coach.
- Games are played each Saturday during the season at either one of the club's fields or at a field operated by another community soccer program.
- Beginning at U9, players are required to purchase the Red/White uniform kit. Please see our Uniform page for more information.
- At the U10 age group, Fox Chapel also offers players the opportunity to try out for Division 4 Sunday Travel, a more competitive program. Tryouts are in May/June for the following year, so players can try out at the end of their U9 season for the following year.
