LOCATION - Annville Church of the Brethren
Overview
The ACYSC U8 Program is intended to introduce 6 & 7 year old boys and girls to the game of soccer. The U8 program is run “in house,” meaning there is no county-wide league to play in. It is styled around a 4 v 4 format with no goalies. The U8 team will have the opportunity to develop fundamental skills, participate in drills, and scrimmage in 4 v 4 game play. Players will also learn what it's like to play with teammates and develop positive sportsmanship.
Parent Involvement
Parents are essential to the U8 program. No experience is necessary to start teaching kids the fundamentals of soccer. We need parents to help out as head coaches, assistant coaches, team parents, and field liners. If you are interested in helping, please contact Tucker Hull or Allison Page.
U8
If your child's birthday falls between these dates (01/01/2013 - 12/31/2014) they have the opportunity to play on the U8 team. This will allow players to practice with other children of the same age and skill level. These teams will practice and scrimmage/game against one another, twice a week. ACYSC will try to informally schedule games with other clubs towards the end of the season. These games could fall on any day of the week. The “games” are also rather informal.
Equipment Needed
Please make sure your child has water, shin guards, and a soccer ball (size 4). Soccer cleats are optional but they must be soccer cleats, not baseball cleats. If you have any questions about the program, please email Tucker Hull or Allison Page.
