Age Group U4
The U4 age group is for children who are 3 or 4 years old as of January 1st of the current year. Parents also have the option of placing their 4 year old child in the U6 age group.
U4 games are conducted across a rink-sized field at Cambrian
Community Field or North Haven School Field
.
Games are 45 minutes and roughly broken into two components: approximately 15 minute practice then 30 minute game. The practice session is conducted on 1/2 of the game field followed by the game on the full field.
Small portable nets are used. U4 games are generally 3 v. 3 or 4 v. 4 depending on the number of players per team.
The goal is to ensure that each player has fun and roughly equal playing time; translated into equal opportunity to touch the ball in a game setting and a minimum of time waiting on the sidelines.
