Spring/Summer and Fall Recreational Leagues Grades Kindergarten
through Two:
Each grade/gender makes up a league:
K-1 play micro soccer on small fields with no goals.
Kindergarten teams have boys and girls on the same team.
2nd grade plays on age
appropriate full length fields with goals.
All refereeing is done by the parent
coaches. The emphasis is on small sided games, each team divides
in half so all participate the entire hour, basic skill
development, good sportsmanship, and FUN. No scores or standings
are kept. All games are played on Eagan fields, determined by the
City of Eagan roughly two months prior to the start of the
season. During the Spring/Summer, each team plays two nights a
week (usually Monday through Thursday). The season runs from mid
May until mid July. During the Fall, the first two weeks are
played during the week; each team plays two nights a week (usually
Monday through Thursday). After those first two weeks, each team
plays once during the week and once on Saturdays. A Bowling event
is held for this age group during the Fall season.
Spring/Summer Recreational Leagues
Third through Sixth Grade for boys Third through Eighth Grade for
girls:
Summer leagues are typically divided by grade
and gender. The exceptions being Third and Fourth grade boys play
together, Fifth and Sixth grade boys play together and Sixth
through Eighth grade girls play together. This may vary depending
on enrollment.
The number of players on the field is set by
the Director prior to the start of the season. This number will
vary from six to eleven. The driving factor for determining the
number of players on the field is the number of children
registered. Fifth through Eighth grades have a tournament, which
is held at the end of the season. Certified center referees are
provided for all league games.

factor for determining the number of players on the field is the
team sizes. When possible, we try to have 9 players plus a goalie
and 13 players on a team. The field dimensions for this age group
is 80 X 60. Certified center referees are provided for all
