U8 Boys Developmental

Under 8 Boys

 

Our under 8 boys teams play 6 versus 6 with a goal keeper.  We have designed this program to allow the players to get several touches on the ball in a fun and exciting environment.  Both the field and the goals are smaller than full-sided fields to allow the players to have success.  We continue to keep the emphasis on the fun and learning of the game.

ASA discourages coaches and parents from emphasizing winning and losing.  The emphasis should be put on the players’ participation, development, and enjoyment of the game.
