Boomer Spring & Fall Instructional Soccer

Spring & Fall Ages Preschool thru 8th Grade

Program Includes Boomer Spring & Fall Instructional Soccer League

Open to Boys & Girls from Jay County & Surrounding Communities

Spring Season April thru May (Spring signup by mid-March)

Fall Season September thru October (Fall signup by mid-August)

Overview
The Boomer Spring & Fall Instructional Soccer program begins with league play wherein the players are divided into teams based upon their skill level in order to form teams that are as equally balanced as possible.

The Pre-school thru 2nd grade matches are played in 5v5 small sided format (no goal keepers).  The 3rd thru 8th grade matches are played at either 6v6, 7v7, or 8v8 small sided format (with goal keepers).

The small sided soccer format is used to encourage players to keep the field balanced and to learn handling and passing of the ball.  Eliminating the goal keeper for the younger ages requires teams to learn to play better defense and to keep the children interested in the sport by encouraging more scoring. Small sided soccer is an excellent way for young children to learn the basics of soccer and to develop the skills needed as they move into more competitive play.
