About EYS Soccer
The Edison Youth Sports Recreational Soccer program is made up of players from1st through 8th grade. Our mission is to develop happy, healthy, and productive children through competitive soccer. The focus is on learning the fundamentals of soccer with a strong emphasis on sportsmanship. We offer co-ed teams from U7/U8 to U15.
Rec Travel Soccer: For the Fall & Spring Edison Youth Soccer will be playing in the Lorain County Rec Travel League. There are no try-outs and every player gets to play 50% of time during the game. Our emphasis is placed on learning the game, team building and the sportsmanship involved with being in a competitive atmosphere.
U8 to U12- A child may play up depending on their age, ability and number of players. We may not be able to field a team for each age group, but each child will be placed on a team.
We do not always have enough players to form a team at each age group. So some times players are moved up an age group to help fill out a team or teams.
The emphasis at these age groups is expanding the players knowledge of the game. Dribbling, foot skills, passing, field spacing, defensive awareness, with some positional specialization. As always FUN!!!! is also emphasized.
U13/14/15 or Junior High Travel - At this level we are trying to give the players an idea of what high school soccer will be like, but still keep the games and practices Fun!! More work and commitment is expected to prepare our players for the next level.
