9v9 Travel Program

Players in 4th-6th grade will primarily be placed in the U11-U12 divisions.  The goal of this level is to continue developing the team with a transition to a more competitive team environment with a deeper focus on game tactics.   At this level, players are grouped by skill and playing time is not guaranteed but coaches are directed to distribute playing time fairly and try to even out game variations over the season.
