Join us for this league for 6th-8th graders to play for their school. This is for players who did not make the middle school team this winter OR chose not to try out. This will allow these girls a chance to still play for their school, but in an intramural setting. We will allow 1 non-HVS team to join as well so we have an even 4 teams for games. Each team will consist of 10-12 players from their school. Registration will close Wed, Jan 14, by then everyone should know if your child made the middle school team or not. Registration fees will not be collected until Fri., Jan 9, that way if you register now and your child makes the team, you do not have to pay the fee until tryouts are completed. We would like to secure 2 coaches per team and in lieu of paying the coaches, we will waive the entire registration fee for each coach for their time. If you are interested in being a coach for one of these teams, please respond accordingly during registration. If we are able to secure a non-parent coach, we will compensate them for their time. Scholarships are available, as needed as well. Please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org for those details. Practices will be Mon, Tues, and or Wed from 6-7:30 p.m. or 7:30-9 p.m. at your home school (if possible) and games will be on Thursday nights at one of the HVS middle schools. The season will run January-February; congruent to the Middle School Girls Basketball season.

What is Futsal? Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided soccer game that is played across the world and is officially recognized by both FIFA and UEFA. Futsal is recognized as a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball. Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill in high pressure situations which can be translated into the outdoor game. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking and pin-point passing. Why Futsal? Allows players to frequently touch the ball. Presents many opportunities to score goals and score goals often. Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending). Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom. Eliminates complicated rules such as off-sides that may hinder youngsters from "playing". Divisions offered will be: Ages 4-5; Ages 6-8; and 8-11 All teams will practice for 30 minutes and then play for 30-45 minutes (depending on the age group) Games and practices will be held on Sundays at Oak Valley Center. Coaches Meeting @ TBD Volunteer Coaches will receive a 25% discount on team fees (applied AFTER registration) Team fees will include a uniform t-shirt. Other needed equipment will need to be provided by the families (soccer socks and shin guards). Balls/cones/pinnies/other equipment is available for teams to share on site.
