DAA Youth Development Spring 2026 Soccer Season Info

Our Youth Development Soccer Program is designed to introduce our Davidsonville boys and girls to the game of soccer in a fun environment!

The program will concentrate on building comfort and confidence with the ball, while introducing socialization and team building. Small-sided play with limited roster sizes allows for more interactions with the ball and increased opportunities for skill development. U4 will play 3v3, U5/U6 will play 4v4 and U7 will play 5v5. Roster size will be approximately 7-10 players per team. All kids will receive at minimum, 50% playing time. During the Spring season, both the practice and game will take place on Friday nights.
