SOCCER
IS A BALL
GAME PLAYED BETWEEN TWO TEAMS, EACH ATTEMPTING TO WIN BY SCORING ON
THEIR OPPONENT. THE SIDE THAT SCORES THE MOST GOALS IS THE WINNER.
IT IS A VERY FAST PACED GAME WHERE THE PLAYERS MUST BE IN SHAPE TO
COMPETE.
PLAYERS ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO USE THEIR HANDS OR ARMS TO CONTROL THE BALL. THEY CAN HOWEVER, PLAY THE BALL WITH ANY OTHER PART OF THEIR BODY. THE ONLY
PERSON PERMITTED TO USE THEIR HANDS IS THE GOALIE, WHILE THEY ARE IN THE
PENALTY BOX IN FRONT OF THEIR GOAL.
Types of Soccer....
THERE ARE THREE
TYPES OF SOCCER: PEEWEE OR PETITE SOCCER, RECREATIONAL/INTRAMURAL
SOCCER, AND TRAVEL SOCCER.
PEEWEE SOCCER
IS YOUR CHILD'S FIRST INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORT. IT IS A NONCOMPETITIVE
ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUR CHILD WILL BEGIN TO LEARN THE SKILLS, POSITIONS
AND RULES OF SOCCER.
RECREATIONAL SOCCER
FOCUSES MORE ON FUN THAN COMPETITION. YOUR CHILD WILL NOT HAVE TO
TRY OUT FOR THIS LEAGUE. ALL CHILDREN ARE ACCEPTED AND EVERYONE
WILL GET PLAY TIME. DRILLS ARE PERFORMED TO PRACTICE BALL SKILLS
AND FIELD POSITIONING.
TRAVEL SOCCER
REQUIRES THAT CHILDREN TRYOUT FOR A POSITION ON THE TEAM. THERE ARE
NO GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAVEL SOCCER TRYOUTS.
SKILL LEVEL IS VERY HIGH IN THESE LEAGUES AND COMPETITION IS TOUGH.
IN THIS LEAGUE YOUR CHILD'S SOCCER SKILLS WILL IMPROVE SUBSTANTIALLY
SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE COMPETITION, DEDICATION, AND PRACTICE.
WINTER/INDOOR SOCCER
ALLOWS YOUR SOCCER LOVER TO MOVE INTO AN INDOOR FACILITY FOR THE WINTER MONTHS.
THE GAME IS VERY FAST-PACED WITH LOTS OF
RUNNING. THE FIELDS ARE SMALLER AND SO ARE THE TEAMS.
