The 15U Division is for boys and girls (co-ed) born from August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2014. This has historically been a very strong division for us, with competitive play along with a high level of sportsmanship, which our club values highly.
Players at this age are playing because they love the game, and that shows on the field. There is a strong sense of team, and you will see players on the field encouraging each other throughout practices and the game. Each player will have an opportunity to develop their technical and tactical skills, but the focus will primarily be on the tactical skills and team play, including role-specific expectations for the various phases of play. Coaches are trained to deliver exercises and opportunities that provide players opportunities to grow their knowledge and skills in game-like situations as well as during game play.
There are two practices each week, on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6pm starting August 18th, and running through October 2026. All practices and home games are at the Marshall Opportunity School 225 E Watson St in Albion. Note that the 15U Division practices and plays on the East Side of the school (everyone else is on the west side).
Games are at 9am, 1030am, or 12pm on Saturdays, starting in early to mid April and running for 6 weeks. The 15U division plays against other teams from our club as well as other teams from the area - Jackson, Grass Lake, Parma, Hillsdale, Coldwater. About half of the six games will be at home, and half will be away. The game schedule comes out in early September. We will likely end the season with a friendly tournament....more to come on this.
All players must have shin guards for every practice and game.
Our club is run completely by volunteers, so we will need 4-6 volunteer coaches for this division to operate successfully. All of our coaches receive professional training and certification. You or a relative may sign up right when you register your player as part of the process. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Coach Administrator Jim Stuart at 812-841-4604.
