U7s play their games on a Saturday morning. They play a home and
away fixture with the season starting approx. from April. When playing at
home they play first game at 9am or 10am. When playing away the time may
vary, but it will always be reasonably early.
Training
will be one night a week (yet to be determined), and it will normally
start around 5.00-5.30pm. Training will begin a week or two before the season begins (so late March). These sessions will be led by one of our Coaching team. We believe that these are the essential years for skill development and all U7s train as a group.
Football Victoria Teams
Games for U7s play on a modified pitch with small goals. They play 5v5, and ideally the team would be no more than 6 or 7. They play 2 x 10 minute halves.
Bayside FA Teams
Games for U7s play on a larger pitch. They play 7v7 and they play 4 x 10 minute quarters.
Parents are encouraged to take on the Coach or Team Leader position to organise on match day. The team will also require a Team Manager who assists with communications and rosters for other volunteer duties on match day.
