North Central Youth Soccer Association

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

River Valley Soccer Club offers the following programs. The “U” means “under.” The number following refers to the age group. A player is assigned to an age group based on their age as of August 1 before the fall or season begins.

U6 Program
The U6 program is co-ed and includes 4 and 5 year olds. The fall season format is one on one, meaning parents with players (one ball per player) warm up and practice ball-handling skills under the general direction of the coach/age representative. Each practice ends with short 3 vs. 3 soccer games. The spring season may continue this format, or may more formally break into teams. A similar – warm up, practice and games – format is followed.

U8 Program
The U8 program is co-ed and includes 6 and 7 year olds. Coaches conduct practices and teams meet for games, according to a prepared schedule. Games are usually held on Tuesday evenings (and Thursdays in the Spring) and Saturday mornings at the North Omak Elementary School. Each team has four players on each side. Travel to Oroville and Tonasket occurs infrequently.

U10 Program
The U10 program is co-ed and includes 8 and 9 year olds. Coaches conduct practices and teams meet for games, according to a prepared schedule. Games are usually held on Thursday evenings (and Tuesdays in the Spring) and Saturday mornings at the North Omak Elementary School. Each team has six players on each side. Travel to Oroville and Tonasket occurs infrequently.

U12 Program
The U12 program is co-ed and includes 10 and 11 year olds. Coaches conduct practices and teams meet for games, according to a prepared schedule. Games are usually held on Monday evenings (and Fridays in the Spring) and Saturday mornings at the East Omak City Park. Each team plays up to 11 on each side. Travel to Twisp, Oroville and Tonasket for games occurs.

U15 Program
The U15 program is co-ed and includes 12, 13, and 14 year olds. Coaches conduct practices and teams meet for games, according to a prepared schedule. Games are usually held on Wednesday evenings (and Fridays in the Spring) and Saturday mornings at the East Omak City Park. Travel to Twisp, Oroville and Tonasket for games occurs more frequently.

District 6 Programs
The Club offers a more competitive program at the U-14 age level by playing teams across the state. Priority for placement on these teams includes: 1) returning players, 2) older players, and 3) others, as space is available. This requires a commitment to travel to destinations in Eastern Washington and Idaho.

High School Programs
Highschool players are encouraged to play for their local highschool as our club has no recreational teams for those over 14.
