ABOUT SOCCER: U12 DIVISION

The Boys & Girls Clubs - Alaska U12 Soccer Division is the next stage in a player's development through our Soccer program.  Teams will progress to play 9v9 with goalkeepers with age appropriate sized goals in addition to  having an opportunity to train more with a second day of practice added to the schedule. Practices will take place on Monday and Wednesday evenings while games will played on Thursday evenings at various Anchorage School District schools and/or Municipality of Anchorage facilities throughout the city. The practices:games ratio will be 2:1 with a a total of 10 games scheduled during the twelve-week season. There will be an additional postseason tournament to determine the U12 Division Champion, 

The emphasis for players participating in the Boys & Girls Clubs - Alaska U12 Soccer Division should be learning to play the positions and the basic roles of each position.  These points include the application of technique in game situations, application of attacking and defending principles in slightly opposed collective practices, agility and speed movements with and without the ball, application of technique at speed in game situations, application of attacking and defending principles in games, and agility, coordination and speed movements in simple practices.
