GRADES 7-10 COED LEAGUE 2022
NOTE: Please arrive by no later than 3:30 for Nov. 13 so we can start early and finish before it gets dark.
THE BIG PICTUREAll of the players will be assigned to a "squad" (A, B, C or D). The plan for us to have one 11 v 11 game (Blue vs. White) on Sunday's on a Springfield High School turf field (4:00 start).* The game will feature different combinations of squads from week-to-week (e.g., A/B vs. C/D, A/C vs. B/D, A/D vs. B/C). This will keep it manageable/organized and should make for some competitive games. The players will be given reversible pinnies (blue & white) that they will keep. They will be printed with numbers, etc on both sides. The schedule identifies which colors each squad should wear week-to-week. A coach will be assigned to either the blue or white team each week. A youth official will support each game. Games will be 60 minutes (+5 minute halftime).
*Note: This plan is based on the number of players who "confirmed" they are playing. A number of players on the rosters have not confirmed their interest. If it turns out a lot of the "unconfirmed" players numbers intend to play, we will pivot and create two games instead of one to be played at the same time. We created each squad with an equal number of confirmed and unconfirmed players to help ease this type of transition by no later than week 2.
TEAMS
Based on our numbers and other logistics, we will have four "squads" of players. Two squads will comprise a team. Each player will be assigned to a squad. Players will play with the same squad each week. Each squad will be paired with another squad each week. We'll use different combos of "squads" to create teams for games each week. Squad rosters are identified above.
PLAYERS
We'll have players of all abilities and experience (travel and not). Where possible we mix-up the grades on the "squads". League registration numbers are weighted towards boys, but we've always had girls play too and pair them up with other girls who are registered. Everyone plays on the same field for the same game each week, so people will always be with friends and siblings who registered.
SCHEDULE
We will begin September 18 and conclude November 13. You will get a reminder each week what color you should wear. The aim is to start at 4:00 on Sundays and be done by 5:05.
GAMES & FIELDS
Games will be 60 minutes long with one 5 minute half. We try to play 11 v 11, but it depends on the numbers week-to-week. A youth official will be assigned. All games will played at Springfield High School on a new turf field. We will play on the turf field closest to Leamy Ave (not the stadium field).
PLAYOFFS
We won't have playoffs, however we will reserve the final week for the squad combination that has been most competitive so we end the season with a competitive game.
COACHES
A coach will be assigned to a team (blue or white) each week. Thanks for coaching!
EQUIPMENT
Shinguards are highly recommended. Cleats are optional, but also recommended. Reversible pinnies will be provided to for each player to wear as their game shirt each week. These will be distributed the first week of the season.
SCHEDULE
All games scheduled to start at 4:00.
