Teams and Practice

Once registration is closed, teams are divided by age into groupings called divisions. Age is determined by birth year. Players who wish to be moved up will need to be evaluated by our coach administration staff to be sure they are a good fit for the new division.

Every team has one mandatory team practice a week (except for the very youngest players; 3, 4 and 5 years old). Practices will take place on a fixed day and time each week. These times are assigned to teams after the teams have been formed.

There are also weekly optional practices divided by age divisions, run by coaches from First Touch Soccer. Players can attend as many or as few of these as desired. Please see our schedule page for more detail.
