House (7U - 10U) + Academy

House 7U-10U

House League - 7U-10U
Players born 2011-2014

Great Falls Reston Soccer’s House program for 7U-10U players is an 8-week program that is coached by parents and volunteers. Beginning at 7U, girls have the option of playing with the boys or playing in a “girls only” program. The 7U-10U program includes two 1-hour sessions every week. This typically consists of a team practice and a game on either Saturday morning (generally between 8 am and noon) or Sunday afternoon (generally between 12-6 pm). These sessions are conducted by volunteer parents and coaches.

At 7U, the field is expanded (from 6U) and continue a 4v4 format. Throw-ins, goal kicks, and corner kicks are introduced at 8U. By 9U, our teams are playing on a much larger field, with traditional goals, goalies, a 7v7 format, and referees applying the laws of the game. Teamwork, tactics, positions, and passing concepts becoming more and more prominent as the players mature and the field size expands. Nevertheless, our primary focus is, and should be, on the development of technical skills and player creativity.

A uniform consisting of a jersey, shorts and socks is included in the registration fee and will be handed out at the first session. Players will need to wear sneakers or cleats (recommended), shin guards, and their GFR uniform to games. Comfortable athletic attire can be worn for practices. Players should bring a ball (Size 4) and water to all sessions.

House Academy

To supplement the coaching offered by our volunteers, Great Falls Reston Soccer offers "Academy” training during the week where all House players (6U-10U) receive additional coaching from GFRSC’s professional trainers with a focus on developing technical soccer skills. The Academy program is recommended for all House players.

Academy is a 7-week training program offered on Tuesdays in South Reston or on Wednesdays in North Reston/Great Falls. Registration is required to participate.

Players should wear comfortable athletic clothing, sneakers or cleats (recommended), shin guards and bring a ball (size 4) and water to each session.
