In-Town Intramural Grade 1 Overview

1st Grade Saturday Sessions

The 1st grade program is fully focused on providing the skill foundation for a player's long term development. Every Saturday session runs for 75 minutes and is broken into two parts: skill training and small sided games.

The first half of each session will be devoted to skill training with a very heavy focus on foot-skills (dribbling). The skills sessions will be conducted by professional coaches contracted by NYS. The skills training will follow a defined curriculum that builds on itself each week.

The second half of each session will be devoted to small sided games run by your child's team and an opposing team's coach. The small sided games are designed to promote involvement, many touches on the ball and application of the skills learned in the previous skills session.

Grade 1 Specific Rules

Newton Youth Soccer uses standard FIFA rules with the differences described below.

Number of Players on the field - 4 v 4

Ball Size - 3

Field Play
1st grade plays 4 v 4 on a small field to help provide players as many "touches" on the ball as possible and for them to develop footskills in an appropriate sized field dimension as endorsed by US Soccer. The are NO goalies at this age and score/standings are not kept.

Out of Bounds (restarts)

Sidelines: When a ball goes out of bounds on the sideline (touchline) the game will be restarted by a kick-in (NO throw-ins at this age).

End-lines: When a ball goes out over the end-line, the game will be restarted by either a goal kick (if the ball was kicked out by the attacking team) or a corner kick (if the ball was kicked out by the defending team).

On a goal kick, the defending team will need to move back to the midfield line prior to the goal kick. The reason being is that we want the attacking team to be able to put the ball back in play and attempt to move the ball forward. Once the ball is put in play, the defending team can come into the attacking team's side of the field.

Substitutions

Substitutions can be made on any out of bounds situation or when a child needs to come out of the game due to an injury. The rule of thumb for all coaches will be to give all players equal playing time each week.

Equipment

Shinguards are required and should be worn under the players socks. Cleats are recommended, but not required.
