Dutch (U8 - U18)

The Dutch Soccer Program is offered to all kids U8-U18 alone or in conjunction with County and Travel play. If your child is registered in any DAA Fall sport and would also like to play in the Dutch program, a $30.00 fee will be added at the time of registration. They may also choose to simply play in the Dutch program. We encourage all kids to play in both county/travel and Dutch programs to advance their skill level and give them more play time. This program is a 90 minute per week commitment and is perfect for kids who want to play multiple sports. Once a week, we will hold a 45 minute technical practice guided by a UK Elite trainer working along side our coaches, followed by a 45 minute game.  (U12 County players will have a conflict since their games are played on Friday nights)

This fast, highly paced simple 4v4 format offers more touches to the ball and time to develop skills. Kids looking for purely recreational activity are candidates for this program along with County participants trying to advance skills in order to make a travel team. Athletes already involved in the travel program will benefit from the additional play time and the fun and fast format. It also allows kids to play with friends in a sport they love, that they may not otherwise get to play with.

Maximum of 5-7 players per team and all kids receive 50% playing time. Smaller field size and 6ft pug goals will be used in lieu of standard 7v7 goals.

Statistics in Dutch Soccer show that this format offers players:

          •        135% more passes

          •        260% more attempts on goal

          •        500% more goals scored

          •        225% more 1 on 1 encounters

          •        280% more “tricks” attempted

 Eligibility: born between August 1, 1993 - July 31, 2003 are eligible to play

 Cost: $95.00 if playing Dutch soccer only. If playing Dutch in conjunction with another DAA Fall sport, add $30.00 to those registration fees.

Start Dates:  Technical training/games begin in early April.
