Under 10 Boys Intramural Program

U10 Boys teams play "in and out of house" against other Hempfield Soccer Club teams and other Intramural teams within a close proximity. The LBYSA league has adopted 6v6 play at this age group. The composition of teams may be revised after the fall season, depending on the number of players who sign up and ability of those players. Coaches are to provide the opportunity to players to play and learn a variety of positions. Individual player development remains the focus of the program. Instruction also includes some beginning tactics and team concepts.

Fall 2008 Season Summary: All players should be notified of their team placement by mid-August. Practices begin in late August. First game day is anticipated to be Sept 6th and the season runs approx. 8 weeks. Games are generally played on Saturday mornings.
