The 7U program is specifically developed to introduce soccer to children in a fun and safe environment, while allowing them to continue to expand their skills. The program is setup to have a short practice once a week at a local park or school, followed by a Saturday game. As this is a non-competitive division, there are no playoffs. Each player receives a participation trophy.
