U6 Division Details



This program meets in a clinic environment for approximately eight sessions. Each session consists of warm-up, skill-building games/instruction, and a short scrimmage with another team during one hour, typically on Saturday. The Club Registrar and Under 6 Age Group Coordinator form mixed gender teams of up to eight players (4 & 5 year olds) each season, based on gender, age, and experience. The scrimmage (without goalies) is 4 vs. 4 with one coach from each team permitted on the field for instruction during play.  U6 games for the Fall 2022 season will be at a Coventry Soccer home field. 

Players must be 4 years old by season start to be eligible to play the up coming season.  Score reporting or reporting of team records is neither appropriate nor supported for this program.

The program goals are:
1. Introduction to soccer rules/game
2. Ball control basics
3. Shooting basics The FIFA laws of the game, with the following exceptions, shall govern the Under 6 age group along with the recommendations as suggested by the USYSA parent & coach primer.

Parking:  Parking on the grass is NOT permitted.  There will be signs posted and the league is responsible for all damage caused.  Please be diligent to park in a marked spot or along a cement curb.
 
Practices:  There will be a practice each weekend that lasts approximately 30 minutes.  Each U6 team will then play a 30 minute game (with two 15 minute halves) against an opposing team immediately following their practice. 

Ball:  Size 3.  We recommend you bring a ball with you to use during practice.

Equipment:  Every player must have shin guards on and soccer cleats.  Game day jerseys and game socks are provided by the league.  Shin guards MUST be worn under long socks and cleats may not be metal or have a toe cleat. 
 
Jersey:  In the registration process you will need to indicate what size jersey your child will need.  Each team is given a different colored jersey to wear for the season.   

Parents are responsible for the conduct of their child while on property.  The nets are portable and no child is allowed to hang on the nets or bars.

Lessons Learned:  
* By the end of September and beginning of the spring season, it can get cold in the early am. Dress your child in layers. I have found it successful to wear an UnderArmour type shirt under the jersey and have a pair of knit gloves and hoodie around. There are no regulations on the pants or shorts. So wear what feels comfortable but make sure the waist is snug and the length is not too long (to avoid tripping).
* The kids need shin guards and recommend they bring a ball each game so they have one to use during that first 30 minute practice.
* Bring a drink for your child to utilize during the game.
* For spectators... bring your chairs and blankets. On the colder days the kids that are not playing can usually be found snug in their chair under a blanket. The ground is especially dewy (is that a word?) during the early morning hour games. If you have a blanket that has a water resistant side bring that in case your player (or other family members) wanted to sit on the ground and watch.
*Please remember only CLEARED VOLUNTEERS are allowed on the "Team Side".  All spectators and siblings not playing must sit on the opposite side of the field as the team. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
