Saugerties AYSO Soccer Division Rules


Below is a quick glance chart of some of the basic differences between age divisions. You will notice that from U6 - U12 there are less than 11 players on each team. This is called a small-sided game. It was created by the National AYSO and adopted by Saugerties AYSO. Saugerties AYSO believes that the small-sided game is essential for children at this age.
The reasons can be read here.
