Kinder League is for U6 and U5 PlayersKinder league meets on Saturday afternoons for 1 hour of fun. We don't train on weekdays, training is part of the Saturday afternoon session.Pre-kinder and kinder training and play is organized the same way, but the kinder training may be a little faster paced than the pre-kinder. A parent is required to remain at the field with their child, and may be called upon by the coach to help with watching for the ball going out of bounds, helping to maintain a line, or other on-field tasks. Each child must have at least 1 parent registered as a volunteer (your volunteer duty is to help on the field when the coach asks) and to watch the 30 minute Safe Haven webinar. While registering your child be sure to check the volunteer box for, Kinder Parent.
Under-6 is for kindergartners and younger 1st graders. U6 players are divided by gender. You may apply for your child to "play up" if your child is pre-kinder and you feel your child is more advanced and can enjoy the faster pace.
Under-5 is for pre-school and younger kindergartners. A child who is in kindergarten but is young, may apply to "play up with grade" during the registration process. U5 teams are co-ed. The Kinder League is a gentle and fun introduction to organized group athletic activity and the game of soccer, starting with individual drills and working up to small-sided, informal games. No formal teams are created; Each coach works with a group of about 10 players. Each player must be accompanied by an adult who must remain at the field during the play, and you may be asked by your coach to participate in the activities. Specific dates for registration and play are in the Regional Calendar. Check the Regional Calendar on the home page for the specific dates. Spring Kinder League usually begins the last Saturday in March and continues through to the weekend prior to Memorial Day. Summer Kinder League usually begins the second Saturday in June and continues through to the middle of August. Fall Kinder League begins the Saturday of the season start after Labor Day and continues until the second weekend before Thanksgiving. Each player will be issued a two-color, reversible jersey. The jersey is to be returned at the end of the season. See the subject, Parents - On Game Day, to the right.
