Fall 2008 Registration

The game is the best teacher

The game is the best teacher: Gunston Soccer is dedicated to playing small-sided soccer through the majority of its age divisions. Starting at age 5, on a small field (20 yards by 30 yards) with just 3 players on a team on the field, the children’s only objective is to kick the ball and have fun. The games consist of 4 quarters of 4 or 5 minutes each quarter. Since there are a smaller number of players on the field, each child has more time (or touches) with the ball. Teams at this age are limited to 6 or 7 players. As they get older, the field gradually grows in size as more players and positions are added. In this progressive curriculum, children first enjoy the game, all the while learning the basic concepts of kicking, dribbling, and using their feet to control the ball. At the U14 division the players have finally progressed to a full size field (110 by 60 yard) field with 11 players on a team with a roster of 17 players. Consult the website for more information about our age group divisions, rosters sizes and general League information.

Parents: The backbone of the Gunston Recreational Micro-Soccer League is our Volunteers. Without volunteers, the League cannot function. There is a job for everyone, no experience is required, and we will help train you. Please select an area to help out on the registration form. Alternatively, you can also register online.

Opening Day Fall 2008 Season is Saturday, September 20th. See the registration form (opens in a new window) for more information.
