These age groups will likely contain a mix of beginners, along with players that have been exposed to soccer through their club, their school or friends. Players will learn more about the rules of the game, fundamentals, positional play and teamwork. The emphasis of Recreational soccer at these ages is player development with healthy competition. Winning is not the primary objective. Depending on the number of teams formed within a particular age group, teams may play RILS (Rec Interleague; where GYSA provides their schedule against other RILS teams in other clubs), or they may be scheduled by NASA, playing other NASA teams their same age or against other local clubs.
