U12 Recreational

2012 - 2013 Birth Years

GENERAL INFORMATION

Recreational Season Information

Players are assigned to teams and train one or two nights per week under the supervision of volunteer parent coaches.  U12 and up play games on Saturdays.  Coaches pick the day(s) and times for the weekly practices.   

If there are enough DEFC teams in the age group all games will be "in-house" with games against other DEFC teams.  DEFC North teams will play in the Hockessin area, DEFC Central teams will play in the Middletown/Odessa area, however there may be games between DEFC North and DEFC Central which would require some travel for games.

If there are not enough DEFC to teams to play all games "in-house", U12 teams will play in the DYSA Inter-League.  The league is formed with other Delaware based clubs.  Teams playing in the DSYA Inter- League will have some "away" games at other Delaware based clubs that will require some travel.

U12 game format is 9v9 (8 field players and a keeper).  The club tries to have certified referees available for all U12 games.
