2020-21 Fall Recreational Soccer Registration

This our recreational and Pebbles Program for the 2020-21 Fall Season.

The fall soccer season is anticipated to begin with practices the week of September 1st and games running on weekends from September 12, 2020 thru November 1, 2020. The season will will consist of the Pebbles Program (U5 and U6, Intramural U8 program, and in the NEFYSL - U9, U10, U12, U14 and HS Age divisions. All practices, games, dates, and locations TBD.

NEFYSL clubs have agreed to continue with playing even age groups with the exception of U9 and U10, which will play their respective ages only. This was agreed upon by all clubs in the league and will be followed by all. It will create an even playing field across the league. i.e. U12 will be comprised of U11 and U12 players in a 50/50 split per team. Mixing a team with younger and older players will allow younger players to learn and develop more quickly. It will enable more friendships with more teammates and parents since teams will change from year to year. This same model can be found in all other youth sports. i.e. Little League, Pee wee football, youth basketball leagues, etc…

**Travel player rules change notice - If a player is carded to play under a "travel" soccer program and wish to register to play on a recreational team as well, that player will be REQUIRED to play in the next division up from their age group. i.e. Carded U10 player would be required to play on a U12 team. This is the league rule and is not negotiable.**

The GPSYSA will follow all U.S. Soccer Small Sided Game Initiatives which is:

U7/U8 - 5v5 - 4 + keeper

U9/10 - 7v7

U11/12 - 9v9

U13+ - 11v11 - could potentially play less numbers on the field based on teams and sizes
