U11 EMSA West Coach Info

U11 Community Spring Soccer Program 

A U11 match consists of:

• 9 vs. 9 player structure (8 players plus keeper)
• Two 35-minute halves
• Field dimensions:
  • Minimum: 137 x 196 feet
  • Maximum: 180 x 246 feet
• 6 x 18 ft. nets
• 3 flags
• Centre referees

Teams play twice a week; game days will be Saturday afternoon and either a  Monday or Wednesday evening at 6:15 pm. There could be an extra game day to ensure all games are played during the season and practice time (the coach chooses practice times).

Volunteer coaches are supplied with a coaching course, free of charge, for this age group. They will be shown age-appropriate drills and skills, often done through gameplay with the ball.
