The dates for the camps are: Aug. 11-15. Check out the Soccer Camp page for all the details.      Important Rule Change AYSO has mandated that there will be no goalkeepers in the U8 age group and these games will be played 5v5. The kids want to be where the action is and at this age it is around the ball. This will provide the opportunity for the children to further develop their running, jumping and kicking coordination. These are valuable traits for all soccer players to develop. The smaller number of players (5v5) takes into account the egocentrism of this age group and therefore allows each child more opportunities for shooting, passing, and dribbling the ball. With fewer players on the field each child has an increased number of contacts with the ball and has more actual playing time. Additionally the players will be required to make more decisions and experience repeated game situations frequently. The involvement of players will be more consistent. While learning both offense and defense, players will become well rounded and will understand more readily the roles and importance of teammates.      Saugerties AYSO Newsletter Our newsletter is now finished, Thanks to our editor Mark DePasquale.
