Pick-Up League Details

What will each week look like?

For the first half hour, a team of 2-4 coaches will be working with the entire group, typically in drill stations. The remaining hour and a half, the kids are divided into two teams, and a full game is played. Teams are not set in stone, so that players can be shuffled at any point to ensure teams are fair, and kids get a chance to play with a variety of teammates. No official score is kept during the games.

Why Pick-Up Style?

The goal is to give the kids the opportunity to build their skills and have a blast playing the sport without focusing on wins/losses, records, etc. There is still the competitive aspect during the scrimmage each week; however, shuffling the teams helps kids learn sportsmanship, as their opponent one weekend could be their teammate the next. This allows kids to build a healthy relationship with competition.

Sportsmanship

YMCA Leagues are all about fun! As parents, remember to stay positive, encouraging, and courteous to all.
