GENERAL INFORMATION

Recreational Season Information

Players are assigned to teams and teams practice one or two evenings per week under the supervision of volunteer parent coaches. Your child's coach will determine the day(s), times, and location.  U8's will have weekly games against other DEFC U8 teams on Saturdays. League games are played in age appropriate small-sided formats. 

The U8 game format is two simultaneous 4v4 games on side by side fields.  There are no referees.  The games are managed by the coaches.  This format allows for more playing time and touches on the ball for every player.

U8 Players are required to wear a DEFC uniform.
