U8 Girls Coordinator
There is to be NO heading of the ball in practice or games as per US Youth Soccer Guidelines.
A win in U8 girls soccer is a well-played game by all. Good luck and see you on the field!
U8 teams play 7v7 soccer with 6 field players and one goalkeeper. Ideal team size is 12 to 13 players. Teams practice one weeknight each week and games are Saturdays at 12:00 pm or 1:30 pm at Overlook Park.
Each girl will receive a uniform and a soccer ball. Players *MUST* provide and wear their own shin guards.
Team Formation
We have 160 players this 2024 season. Please know that we form teams balanced by age with consideration for the school your child attends and carpool requests. We do our best to to place every player onto a team with some schoolmates, however, we limit team roster sizes at all age levels to maximize the actual playing experience for all players. In fairness to all players, we do not form “school teams” and almost every team will have a mix of two or three schools.
While Towson United Soccer will attempt to honor first carpool requests, in the interest of fair, competitive teams, not all requests can be accommodated.
Safety
For the safety of the children, there is no jewelry allowed on the playing field. This means no necklaces, bracelets or earrings.
