Player Development Initiatives

US Soccer and AYSO have many new Player Development Initiatives and other changes that effect our 2017-2018 Soccer Season.

This page will provide some reference and guidance to help you navigate these changes.

This link is to the US Soccer site with the latest versions of the Player Development Initiatives:  http://www.ussoccer.com/coaching-education/resources/us-soccer-player-development-initiatives-2016 .   These explain many of the new initiatives and the reasons.

AYSO Standard Divisional Guidelines

This chart is a culmination of most of the changes for each division for small sided matches.  The associated National Rules and Regulations (NR&R) is listed in the chart.

Here are some significant points:

  • Field sizes are required within the new ranges or as close as possible till field changes can be made.
  • Build-out line are required for 9U/10U can be painted if needed.
  • The old Jamboree format (6U) was 3v3; the new required format is 4v4.
  • No Punting in 9U to 12U is now a requirement.  The reason is to teach building the play from the rear rather than the 50/50 of a long punt.
