WHAT DOES MY YOUNG SOCCER ATHLETE NEED TO BRING TO PRACTICE?
All NHSA players should bring an appropriate size soccer ball(size 3 for 4-7 year olds, size 4 for 8 and 9 year olds), wear shinguards, and soccer cleats. Our Jerseys are reversible and should be worn to all games and practices so that we can easily change which side they are playing on in scrimmages and games.

League Philosphy
The association will not have formal teams or game schedules. Instead we will work to let the children learn through the game by maximizing touches, playing small sided games, and being matched against kids of similar ability.
The association will seek to incorporate fun events and focus on a fun and supportive atmosphere. Click here for articles on soccer and coaching from OYSAN. Click here for an article on the background and reasons for the type of league we are forming.
The soccer format we are providing is recommended by both the US Soccer Federation (who sponsor th USA World Cup team) and the Ohio Youth Soccer Association for kids under the age of 10. Kids need to be free to explore the game at their own pace with coaching guidance that encourages their creativity and fun.
