For U8 teams many factors are considered when forming teams. Number of returning players, number of new registrants, the coach, continuity from season to season, geographic areas, special requests and more. We make every attempt to honor special requests but we cannot guarantee team placement. We try to keep teams intact from season to season if numbers of returning players allows for it, if not then some combining of teams may have to take place. We rely on volunteer coaches for our U8 teams. Each team needs at least one parent to coach. A good, responsible coach is the most important person for a successful and positive experience.
U8 teams practice two days per week for one hour. Practice times can be anywhere from 4:30-dark. Games are on Saturdays at Applewood Park
Cost: $140 per season plus $65 uniform fee (all U8 players must purchase the hummel uniform)
The Academy program is for those players and families that are ready for a higher level of commitment to soccer. There is more travel involved and tournament play is highly encouraged by the club. Our Academy teams play in higher divisions than the Traditional teams and have paid coaches. The Academy program requires a full year commitment. Players are evaluated for placement in the Academy program
