Full games are not played. Parents will help players on the field.

Ages 9-12 are Champions: The Champions division is designed to build on skills that young soccer players have already obtained. With a focus on teamwork, fair play, and the importance of physical fitness, coaches build on their skill levels to help them achieve solid knowledge of all aspects of the sport.
