K-2 School Soccer League
Are you interested in playing with your friends on a school-based team in a fun, developmental league? Then the K-2 League is for you!
PURPOSE
The purpose of our league is to provide a fun, developmental environment for teaching, engaging, and promoting soccer and life lessons.
We aim to coach in a collaborative, fun environment that includes coaches, players, parents, and participating schools and organizations, with the goal of mental, athletic, and physical development. Coaches and players will teach on the field during games and work together to referee the game fairly. This structure promotes player development, fair play, teamwork, sportsmanship, effort, and an embrace of mistakes.
Field and Equipment
Format: 6v6 format, including goalkeeper
Ball Size: Size 3 ball for the K-1 games; size 4 ball for the grades 1-2 games.
Equipment: Shin guards are mandatory and should be checked by the team’s coach before the game. A long sock should be worn to cover the guard. Coaches should also have players remove loose jewelry, wristbands, or other items that could cause injury during 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 that could cause injury to other players.
Location & Season: University School’s Lower Campus during September and October
