U10 & U12 Program

The variety of clubs in the CSA allows for multiple, well-balanced divisions in each age group; bringing increased competition, while preserving CSA's and ESYSC's core values of sportsmanship and player development.

The introduction of goalkeepers, bigger fields, new rules and score keeping can add a layer of intensity to the games. While we encourage competition, all CSA clubs are dedicated to keeping the atmosphere positive for all participants.

Scores and standings are kept in both age groups.

As a recreational soccer club, ESYSC believes that it is important to maintain good sportsmanship during games that turn out to be lopsided. Despite CSA efforts to seed teams fairly in appropriate divisions, there are always instances where teams can be drastically outmatched. Despite the lessons learned from losing, there is a difference between losing a close fought contest and being blown out. In the latter types of losses, hurt feelings can hinder the ability to absorb the life lessons involved with losing.

To prevent lopsided games, CSA and ESYSC implement a Sportsmanship Rule, found in the CSA Policies and Operating Rules and coaches can refer to Lopsided Games – Ways to Keep it Fun and Fair, links below.
