Our Youth Development Program is designed to first develop each player's passion for the game of soccer and then develop their skill sets. This program will increase each player's skills in stages designed for each player's age. We are partnering with the YMCA to bring you this program.
The age groups are U5, U6, U7, and U8. The āUā stands for under. So your child must be a minimum age of 4 years old to play, approximately preschool age. We will be having two seasons per year (Spring and Fall), and our soccer year starts in the Fall and ends in the Spring. This helps us conform to the Nebraska State Soccer Associations seasonal outlines.
Games will be played Sunday afternoons for all Youth Development Program teams out at the Christensen Fields. The U5-U6 teams will have a 30-minute practice before their games. The U7/U8 will have a 1-hour practice once a week at a time determined by their coach. The U5-U6 will play 4 vs 4. This allows for three offensive players and 1 defensive player (No Goalkeeper). The U7/U8 will play 5 vs 5. The time limit for the U4-U6 will be two 15-minute halves and the U7/U8 will play four 15-minute quarters.
