U07 (1st Grade)

If you haven't done so already, make sure you read through the general information for the 2010 fall season.

Practice Sessions
We have 60 1st graders this season.  So we have decided to break them into two groups of 30.  One group will train on Tue night and the other will train on Thu night.  If have questions, please email the U07 Coordinator at U07@orvfc.org.

3v3 Matches
There will be 3 time slots for 3v3 on Saturday (10:45am, 12:15pm, 2:15pm) and 1 time slot on Sunday (2:15pm).  Your player will not be assigned to any specific session based upon the group they train with during the week.  Instead we will do the following:  we will identify each 3v3 session with a playing style:  aggressive, intermediate, novice:

At this young age, there is a very wide variance in playing styles.  Some players are really aggressive, some players are very cautious and some are in between.  Over time, we will coach the players to a playing style appropriate for the game of soccer but that takes time.  For now, we create these groups to help children feel more comfortable during these early years of development.  Initially, we will assign players to time slots to balance the kids across the sessions.  As the season progresses, families can shift their players to different time slots based upon their observations of how their own child is reacting to the style of play.  Families will also have the ability to play in multiple sessions during the weekend if they would like to get more playing time.

The important thing to remember is that we do not use set teams.  We run this age group more like a camp format.  So if your child needs to miss their regularly scheduled training night one week due to conflicts, he/she is welcome to attend the other night.
