9U-10U Recreational and Advanced Programs

• The Recreational program in Skyline is designed to continue the long tradition of Skyline’s fun, community atmosphere.
• 9U/10U Recreational teams participate in Colorado Soccer Association (CSA) Recreational Leagues. Teams play seven versus seven (7v7) format with goalkeepers for 8 games per season. All home games will be played at Kennedy Soccer Complex.
• Each team will practice one-two times a week with their volunteer coach.
• Games are played in a home/away format with opponents. Travel outside of Denver and surrounding areas may be required for games.  Games are refereed by certified referees at 9U/10U.
• The spring season runs from March – May, and the fall season runs from August – October. During the summer and winter months, we do offer camps and clinics.

• After players have registered, the Skyline staff will build out all of our teams. Here is some insight into the process:

  • Returning players have first priority to the team they were on previously but they must register prior to the registration deadline.

  • From there, we will begin rostering new players, according to player’s registration date and registration requests to teams that have space remaining.

  • If there are enough new players, Skyline will look to build new teams.

  • Skyline will work with newly formed teams to confirm a volunteer coach and practice locations/times/days.

  When you register be sure to fill out the request fields so we can find a team that best fits you! Always remember that we do offer refunds if we are unable to find a team that fits your needs.

• The Juniors Program is the pre-competitive program designed to better prepare 9U/10U players for the Competitive Program at 11U.
• Juniors teams participate in Colorado Soccer Association (CSA) Intermediate Leagues. Teams play seven versus seven (7v7) format with goalkeepers for 8 games per season.  All home games will be played at Kennedy Soccer Complex.
• Team practices will vary depending on which program you are in (see chart).
• Games are played in a home/away format with opponents. Some travel outside of Denver and surrounding areas may be required for games. Games are refereed by certified referees at this age group.
• The program is a one year commitment and runs from August – May.

Spring 2019 Season Dates:

• TBD: Outdoor training can begin
• 3/1: CSA Releases schedules for all 9U/10U teams
• 3/16: 9U-10U opening weekend for games
• 3/23-3/24: Bye weekend
• 5/19: Last day to play games

• Juniors teams are formed through attendance at the ID Camp as well as player assessments throughout the 8U year ensuring all players are ready to participate in the Juniors Program.

  At the ID Camps, players can receive an assessment of REC, SELECT, OR ELITE.

  • RECREATIONAL – players who receive an assessment of REC still have a home in Skyline!  The Skyline staff will work diligently to find a home in Skyline’s Recreational Program.

  • SELECT – players who receive an assessment of SELECT are eligible to register for a Junior Select team.  Teams are formed via coach, team, friends requests made during the registration process in a similar fashion to the Recreational Program.

  • ELITE – players who receive an assessment of ELITE will be invited to a Skyline Junior Elite team. Junior Elite teams require a higher level of commitment in terms of finance and time.

  Skyline understands that each player develops differently. These assessments are based on what the player is showcasing at that point in time and not an assessment for their entire soccer career.
