The U8 year marks the beginning of our �¢??Juniors�¢?? Program, which is coached entirely by the Technical Staff for practices and games. �¢??Juniors�¢?? acceptance is based on tryouts at the end of the U7 year. For those players who do not join the �¢??Juniors�¢?? program, Parent Coaches run the weekly practices and games with participation in the Recreation league. The MYS Professional Technical Staff offer enhanced coaching education/support for U8 Parent Coaches in the form of help and guidance at games. During the spring season, Technical Staff visits the games to ensure the 4v4 games are running well in preparation for the next year.

U8 players are born anytime between January 1-December 31, 2013.

Teams are gender-specific.

April 10
