Wings are for ages 9-10. Age is based on birth year (i.e. if your child is currently 8 and turning 9 this year you register them for Wings).  Teams will play against other MVEYSA teams and travel.  Teams are not coed.

 

Supplies Needed

• Shin guards with soccer socks worn over the shin guards (ankle guards are recommended - some are sold separate from shin guards). 
• Soccer cleats are recommended but not required.  No toe cleat or metal cleats allowed.
• Soccer ball, size 4
• Team shirts and a pair of socks will be provided for games.

NO JEWELRY, INCLUDING EAR PIERCINGS.   Earrings will need to be removed even if recently pierced due to MVEYSA rules. 

 

Practices

Practices will be twice a week lasting approximately one hour.  Once games start practices are up to the discretion of the coach and days/times may change due to field availability.

 

Games

Games are throughout the week and Saturdays. Games are 7 v 7 (6 players on the field and one goalie) with a size 4 soccer ball.

Games are four quarters, with each quarter twelve minutes long.  There will be a minute break between quarters and a five minute break at the half.

Substitutions must be done on a dead ball (ball goes out of bounds) of your teams.  When subbing players should stand at the center line until the ref acknowledges them to sub. 

Out of Bounds balls will be put back in play with a throw-in, unless it went out of bounds at the goal line, then the ball will be a goal kick placed at the goalie line or corner kick. For goal kicks players on the opposite team must be behind the build out line.  

Goalies are not allowed to drop kick the ball. Players may not head the ball.  If a player heads the ball intentionally this results in an indirect kick by the opposing team.  

Offsides will be called and an indirect kick awarded to the opposing team.  Penalty kicks will be given.

Players should receive relatively equal playing time. 

All spectators are asked to be on the opposite side of the field from the teams, sitting at least 3' back from the sideline.
