White Plains AYSO offers age appropriate soccer activities from U5 (Pre-Kindergarten) – U12. A full size soccer team has 11 players on the field, but smaller-sided teams for younger children allow more touches on the ball and a more successful soccer learning environment. As the children grow and develop their soccer skills so does the “size” of the game until games are “full” sized. AYSO small-sided games emulate classic “street soccer” where children of many skill levels choose up teams and play together for a fun neighborhood game. This is a similar environment to where many of the greatest soccer players in the world developed their skills.
