Program Description – 12u and younger
The 9u thru 12u (birth years 2013-2016) age groups training format emphasizes enhanced skills development. The focus of practice is the development of individual fundamental soccer skills, including passing, dribbling, receiving the ball, and moving without the ball. Games provide players with an opportunity to use the skills they have acquired, without placing importance on the results of the game. Players must be allowed to make mistakes, without being chastised, so they can learn from mistakes.
Per US Youth Soccer mandates, all FYSA affiliated clubs are not permitted to allow heading at the 12u age group and younger in recreational soccer. Players born in the year of 2013 or later (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 etc.) are mandated by US Youth Soccer not to head the ball in at all in FYSA training events or league games facilitated by Martin United and the Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA).
Program Description – 13u and older
The 13u thru 18u (birth years 2012-2007) age groups are organized for traditional team play. Practices are geared toward all skill levels, and games are played in the spirit of fun and healthy competition. The league may play 7v7 or 9v9 to promote players to have more touches of the ball in a game environment. The league may play full sided, 11v11. Ultimately, the number of players per side will be determined by the number of players and teams registered. Heading is allowed in these age groups.
