Modified Soccer Programs

The Modified program is for 8 to 11 year olds and provides a progressive development path leading up to full field 11-a-side play. Using smaller fields, smaller team sizes, and modified rules, the "Mod" program gives the players more "touches" on the ball, more involvement in the game, and enhances skill development. Players on the field by age group:

U8: 4 per side (3 field players and a goalkeeper)
U9: 5 per side (4 field players and a goalkeeper)
U10: 7 per side (6 field players and a goalkeeper)
U11: 9 per side (8 field players and a goalkeeper)

Olympia United Soccer Club and Tumwater Soccer Club run recreational programs for U8-U11. Blackhills FC is the Select Club of DYSA for those wishing to participate at U11.
