Micro Soccer Information

Teams:

CGSA will divide the 20 or so U-6/Micro teams into two divisions. One division will have the second season and older teams. The other division will have first season, younger and girl teams. Each team will have 5 or 6 players with six (6) being a maximum(there maybe some exceptions to this). We try to set the maximum at six so as to ensure 50% playing time for all players. The U-8 Program is divided into two divisions, boys & girls. Each team will have a maximum of eight (8) players on their roster(there may be some exceptions to this).



Cost:

The cost for the season will be $60 (if you already have a uniform) for age U6 and U8 which covers Georgia Soccer and CGSA registration. The cost is $95 for registration and a uniform consisting of a jersey, shorts, socks and a training t-shirt.

Schedules:

The Fall season will start around the second weekend in September and will run for approximately 8-9 weeks. The Spring season will normally start around the second week-end in March and will run about 8-9 weeks. During each season there is the possibility of a bye week-end for each team.

Games:

All games are usually played at the Guy Minick Field in the fall and at the Chatham County Soccer Complex on Sallie Mood Drive in the spring. More specifically on field #8. All U/6 teams playing two games per day, each game will be 25 minutes with breaks taken as needed. There will Be a 5 minute break between the first and second game. The U-8 teams will start their games as per their posted schedule(1 game with 2 x 25 minute halves).

At the end of each season CGSA puts on a micro soccer jamberee where the coaches will collect the participation awards for his/her team.The players will also enjoy other treats provided by CGSA

Coaching:

Each team will have a volunteer coach and team manager. CGSA will be providing training sessions at several sites across the city for the teams. More information on these training sessions will be provided later.
