U6 & U8 Soccer
Fall and spring season both run for six weeks. Fall games start the first Saturday after Labor Day, and the spring season starts the end of April. Fall registration opens late June and closes the first week in August. Fall registration automatically includes the spring session as well! Spring supplemental registration (for those who DID NOT play in the fall) opens in March and closes early April.
U6 Soccer
The goal of U6 soccer is to let the children have fun with the game of soccer and be eager to come back. They will learn basic soccer rules and should be allowed to run freely while getting used to kicking, dribbling, and chasing the ball. A size 3 ball is used and the kids should also have shin guards and athletics shoes or soccer cleats. For the games, we will play 3v3 . The coaches will also be the referees during the game to help guide the players in the right direction.
The U6 age group consists of 4-6 year olds. Teams have between 7 and 10 players and are co-ed. We try to have two coaches per team and they are usually parent volunteers who sign up at the time of registration. U6 teams play for 5 or 6 weeks in the fall and then again with the same team in the spring. Games are held at the Quit Qui Oc Complex in Plymouth near the concession stand. U6 games are usually scheduled at 12:00 with the first 30 minutes as time to practice and the last 30 minutes a game. There are no additional practice times during the week for this age group. They play two 12 minute halves with a small break for half-time.
U8 Soccer
U8 age group is for six and seven year olds. All teams are co-ed and have a maximum of 12 players per team. At this age level the Plymouth Soccer Club encourages fun activities that teach the basics of soccer. All players get equal playing time and have the opportunity to play all positions. Players are expected to wear shin guards and cleats (soccer only, no football or baseball cleats allowed) or comfortable athletic shoes.
U8 players practice for 60-90 minutes once a week, typically on Monday evenings. Games are played Saturday mornings at Quit Qui Oc (QQO) Sports Complex, the U8 age group plays only other PSC U8 teams so all games are at home at QQO.
