Orinda Youth Sports: Soccer Grades Pre-K–K

Grades 1–2

Welcome to the world of Orinda youth sports. For many players this is their first time playing any team sport, so we like to keep things fast, fun, and beginner friendly. Weekday practices not only develop basic skills, such as passing and shooting, but help develop life skills such as team-work, respect, and fair play. Games, played Saturdays, are played 4v4 so players get more opportunities and space to play.

In our 1st and 2nd grade leagues players continue to develop their skills, while learning more about the basic strategies and tactics of soccer. At practice, coaches focus on skill development through mini-games and team drills, while games on Saturdays are played 6v6 with a goalie.

In our 3rd and 4th grade leagues teams expand and so does the fun! Games are played 8v8 with a goalie as older players continue to learn the strategies and tactics of soccer. At practices coaches emphasize teamwork while expanding on the basic skills to include offensive and defensive strategies.

At this age, we partner with Lamorinda Soccer Club to put on a great league for our oldest players. This league is perfect for players who want to continue playing soccer, but aren’t as interested in more competitive club programs. Coaches focus on offensive and defensive strategies while refining fundamental skills. Games are regulation 11v11 in these age groups.

Orinda Youth Sports: Teams & Coaches Would you like to play with friends this season in OYS sports? There are a few ways to make that happen when you register. 1. CREATE YOUR TEAM If you have a group of friends you’d like to play with, register with that team!

2. PLAY FOR YOUR SCHOOL If you don’t have a specific coach you would like to play with, you can still play with friends from your school!

a. Find your coach

During registration list your school and you will be placed with as many players as possible from the same school.

b. Have your coach complete the OYS Roster Form available online at orindaparksandrec.org or at the Orinda Community Center

Please note—in some situations a school may have more players registered than spaces available. In these situations excess players will be placed together and then combined with another group to create a full team.

c. Have your coach submit the completed form to the Orinda Community Center or dsanchez@cityoforinda.org d. Register for the league using the appropriate barcode e. Once these steps have been completed OYS staff will place all registered players with their corresponding team. Please note—your coach must list you on their roster form in order to be included on their team. If a player is not listed on the form they may be assigned to another team at the discretion of OYS staff.

• All players registered will be placed with a team

3. ENROLL AS A “FREE-AGENT” If you just want to play, and you’re happy no matter where, you’ll register as a “free-agent”

During registration in the “additional comments” section write: Free Agent. You will automatically be placed with as many people from your listed school as possible, but as a free agent, may end up with players from another school as well. Please note—OYS Staff greatly appreciate Free Agents for their flexibility and readiness to make new friends!

• Team assignments are released no later than 1 week prior to the start of practices

This fee is currently applied as a tax to each department transaction (excluding sports facility rentals) in order to provide transparency in how the fee is collected. The funds generated will be used for the preservation of non-sports specific recreation facilities, particularly the Orinda Community Center, and help supplement the limited resources available in the General Fund. To learn more, visit http://orindaparksandrec.org/400/Facility-Preservation-Fee

Registration may be cancelled up to 5 days prior to the scheduled class for a refund minus a processing fee of $5 for credit cards or $20 for checks.

The long awaited, highly anticipated, new Art and Garden Center is now open. Escape into the Wilder hills surrounded by open space. This new facility, with its picturesque setting, is the perfect venue for any gathering. The approximate 6,500 square foot “L-shaped” building consists of a single room and three adjacent rooms separated by two partition walls and a small lobby area separating the spaces. The three adjacent rooms can also be used as a grand room impeccably suited for a spirtual retreat. With an open and exposed industrial style ceiling, natural light glistens through the windows and radiates through the room, with the honey-chestnut luxury vinyl tile planks flowing from one end of the room to the other. As you walk throughout the rest of the building, the polished concrete flooring offers high light reflectivity and maintains the bright, clean, and industrial space.
