Schedule

​Practices

U11 practices are held two weeknights per week between 4:00pm and 7:00pm at either Magnolia Playfield North or Magnolia Playfield South. Practices are one - one and a half hours long, with the option to shorten as it gets dark earlier. Practices are based entirely on our volunteer coach schedules and are not determined until a team has been formed. We are not able to accommodate players switching teams if a practice time does not work for their family's schedule. Attendance at practice has no impact on game-day playing time.

​

Games

U11 games are held on Saturdays at different fields throughout Seattle. The schedule is released by SYSA at the end of August.​

Field

All U11 practices are played at either Magnolia Playfield North, north of Catharine Blaine, or Magnolia Playfield South, south of Catharine Blaine.

​

SYSA background checked adults and players occupy one side of the field. All other spectators that have not undergone training and background checks must be on the outside of the fields (see image). This is for insurance purposes and for player safety.

Coaches

Our U11 coaches should focus primarily on skills and drills while supplementing training with games that still teach the sport.

​

U11 coaches should stay on the sidelines during a game, limiting communication to player directions while maintaining a positive attitude.
