PGYSA - Prince George Youth Soccer Association

U9 - U12 Mini Soccer

House League soccer is tiered for players at U9 - U12:  the teams are split into two tiers for gameplay, with the idea that players are placed in the tier which best suits their ability and confidence level. All tiering decisions are made on feedback from the previous season's coach, and PGYSA's Technical Team of coaches assess all players in this group in the first few games to ensure that everyone is in an appropriate team.  U9 and U10 players play together on our four named fields, and U11 and U12 players play together on our Super 8 fields.  The mixing of ages helps to ensure sufficient numbers of teams in each tier, and encourages development.

The emphasis at these ages is still on fun soccer, but games become more structured and closer to the rules of FIFA soccer as played by the professionals.  Field sizes grow as players get older, and by the end of their U12 year, our players should be ready to play 11 v 11 on a full sized field.

Games at this level have referees, and in the older group, assistant referees.  Offside is introduced in U11/12, and games are 7 v 7 at U9/10 and 8 v 8 at U11/12
