U13 Boys

U13 BOYS AND GIRLS - OUTDOOR 2018

For Who?

Players Born January 1, 2005 and Dec 31, 2006 (Gender Specific play)

Philosophy - Play for Life

At this stage, players should participate in stimulating practices and games that develop basic technical skills in a challenging atmosphere. The effect of the coach is critical at this stage. Skill demonstration is very important, and the players learn best by doing. The players should have a good level of physical literacy. The community sessions will be focused on a challenging training session and their two 11 v 11 games.

Coaching

Parent/Volunteer Coaches will be appointed for the season and will run the sessions each week.  Head coaches will receive a $100 credit towards their child's registration at the end of the season after equipment has been returned & upon submission of required team information and a valid Criminal Record Check to the SPDSA by the specified deadline.  Only one head coach per team is eligible for the credit

In-service coaching workshops will be held before and during the season.
