DIVISION INFORMATION:

Under 8: 4 on the field at a time - NO GOALIES (4v4). Max Roster of 8 with girls and boys. Minimum of 50% of girls on the field at all times. Players continue to work on dribbling, passing, and shooting. All out of bounds restarts will start with a kick-in. A referee is assigned to each game to manage the game. Games consist of four 10-minute quarters with 5 minutes for warmup, 3 minutes in between periods, and 5 minutes to clean-up after the game.

We offer both Boys and Girls divisions. A referee is assigned to each game to manage the game. Games consist of two 20-minute halves with 5 minutes for warmup, 5 minutes for half time, and 5 minutes to clean-up after the game. 
 
Under 14: 5 on the field plus one goalie (6v6). Max Roster of 12
We offer both Boys and Girls divisions. A referee is assigned to each game to manage the game. Games consist of 40-minute running clock with 5 minutes for warmup and 5 minutes to clean-up after the game. 
 
Every player is expected to play 50% of every game unless by their own choice or a parent's request. We do our best to keep team sizes limited to guarantee that every player can get 50% playing time. However, over the years we have received equally as much feedback about teams with too few players (even when the team is at max recommended team size) and teams with too many, Due to vacations and other conflicts not all players show up every week which can leave teams shorthanded. We also have about 10-15% of late registrations, so this can add a significant number of players in a division. We typically we need to create two teams at a time to make scheduling work which can then make team sizes too small. Our Board Members and Directors do everything we can to make this work out for everyone involved
 
There will be 5 game days for each divisions this season.
