K-2 League
K-2 School Soccer League
Our Mission
The purpose of our league is to provide a fun environment to learn the game of soccer in a setting where youths can play with members of their private school and/or parish and, like all youth sports, to teach life lessons.
General Rules
Format
6v6 format, including goalkeeper
Ball Size
We will use size 3 ball for the K-1 games and a size 4 ball for the 1-2 games. Individual schools will choose to practice with whatever ball they see fit.
Equipment
Shin guards are mandatory and should be checked by the team’s coach prior to the game. A long sock should be worn to cover the guard. Coaches should also have players remove loose jewelry, wristbands or other things players may be wearing which could cause injury in the event of contact. This rule exists for the player’s safety. Soccer cleats are highly recommended and shoes should also be checked prior to the game to ensure the players are not wearing metal spikes or other shoes which could cause injury to other players.
Jersey
Each team should provide some shirt which will differentiate their team from the other team. St. Dominic’s uses t-shirts w non-matching shorts.
Field
We will play every game at University School’s Lower campus, located at 20701 Brantley Rd., Shaker Heights.
