Fall Intramural Soccer Season
Duration: 8 weeks
Dates: Early September to late October (exact dates TBD)
Location: Pine Grove School Fields, Rowley
All levels of the TYSA intramural program are organized into teams with parent volunteer coaches that remain consistent throughout the season. This format provides stability, consistency, and teamwork as the foundation of their intramural soccer experience.
This format is only possible with the help of parent volunteers. Parent volunteers will be provided with coaching materials (i.e. suggested practice structure and drills) and supplies (i.e. cones, pinnies), and no experience is necessary. If you are interested in coaching or assistant coaching, or have questions, please reach out to Chris King at chrisking32@gmail.com.
TYSA will make every effort to honor teammate requests made during registration. At the intramural level, TYSA attempts to create a fun and comfortable environment for the players by organizing teams into similarly-aged peer groups. Parents of 5 year old players can use their discretion in choosing between Level 1 and Level 2, with consideration to experience, interest, and whether or not the player will enjoy and benefit from a weekday practice.
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
---|---|---|
Level 1 is an introduction to soccer designed to engage young players and generate interest in the game. Practice activities will focus on confidence, coordination, and getting comfortable controlling a ball at their feet. | Level 2 continues to develop individual skills, while having an additional focus on teamwork and game-like situations. | While continuing to build on individual skills and teamwork, this program teaches the more technical aspects of the game, such as defensive and offensive strategy, throw-ins, corner kicks, and goal kicks. |
