7U/8U - AYSO Region 83

Division Overview

7U/8U Division: Players practice once per week and play games on Saturdays.

What to Expect

Teams have rosters of up to 6-7 players. Players practice once per week on a separate day from games. Your coach will schedule practices that work for them, so check in with your coach once the season starts to learn your practice day and time.

Games are played on Saturdays, with each player guaranteed to play at least ½ of each game. The focus is on fun, skill development, and helping kids fall in love with soccer.
