The 7U program is specifically developed to introduce soccer to children in a fun and safe environment, while allowing them to continue to expand their skills.  The program is setup to have a short practice once a week at a local park or school, followed by a Saturday game.  There is no post season at this age level; however, each player receives a participation trophy at the end of the season.

Season Length	The season runs from September until the middle of November.
Time Commitment	Practice approximately 60 minutes once a week, followed by a Saturday game lasting approximately 55 minutes.
Equipment	Each player will be given a uniform which consists of a jersey, shorts and socks. The player must provide soccer cleats, shin-guards and a size 3 soccer ball.
Certification Required	All volunteers must be registered AYSO Volunteers, and all coaches must be Safe Haven Certified. Coach - 8U Coach Cert, Safe Haven Cert., CDC Concussion Awareness Cert., Cardiac Arrest Awareness
Game Format	The game is played on a small field in a 5 vs. 5 format with no goal keeper. Two 25 minute games are played simultaneously with substitutions occurring every five minutes.  There is no half time break and the clock does not stop for substitution. At the end of the first game there is a short break, then the away team switches sides and another 25 minute game is played.
Team Formation	The teams are formed with the intent of allowing the children to play with their friends and other children from their school.  There are no more than 12 players on each team.  Please place special requests on the registration form.  We try very hard to meet all requests.
