For 5th Through 8th Graders
Downstate's Saturday Youth League is back by popular demand! Beginning on May 11th, we will be running a league from 10am to 12noon for 8 weeks (with a week off on May 18th and ending on July 6th).
Each week, our coaching staff will go over some fundamental skills before setting up games where players will have fun competing. A modified scoring format will ensure all players get lots of touches on the ball while still leaning the game. You can sign up with friends to form a team of your own or sign up as an individual and be placed on a team.
The cost of the league is just $75 for the entire 8 week session, or $525 to register a team (approx. 8 players). No experience necessary!
