Our youngest group of players!

Field

All U6 practices and games are played at Lawton Park, uphill from Lawton Elementary at the end of the cul-de-sac on 27th Ave W.

SYSA background checked adults and players may be on the inside 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

Like our players, many of our U6 coaches are beginners! Our U6 coaches should focus on teaching the sport through games and play in addition to drills.

We encourage our U6 coaches to be on the field with the players for both games and practices and to be in constant communication with players while maintaining a positive attitude.
