Do boys and girls play on the same soccer teams?
The 4-6 year olds play together, and then boys and girls are streamed into separate teams. Some girls, however, do choose to continue to play with the boys through mini soccer. A rare few continue to play with boys in divisional soccer for as long as their strength, skill, and size permits. Who coaches youth soccer? The vast majority of coaches and assistant coaches are volunteers and parents of one of the kids on their team. They all share enthusiasm for community sport, and have varying levels of experience with soccer. The club strongly recommends coaches attain the appropriate NCCP certification for the age and skill level they coach. To this end, the club will pay club coaches to complete their Community Coach Children (CCC) or Community Coach Youth (CCY) levels.
