St. Thomas Youth Soccer will hold its Fall 2000 Orientation Day at 9 a.m. Saturday at the UVI field. After the orientation, St. Thomas Women's Soccer will hold its annual general meeting and election of officers at 4 p.m. at the field. Every school that wants to field a team in the fall youth league must have a representative at the orientation, and all girls and boys of all skill levels who want to play must also attend.
If a school cannot field a team, players can compete on a St. Thomas Youth Soccer-sponsored team. Students should bring a copy of their birth certificate or passport, and 2 photographs.
The three age groups for the elementary division are:
– under 7: born on or after Sept. 1, 1993; minimum of 9 players, maximum 18 per team.
– Under 10: born on or after Sept. 1, 1990; minimum of 10 players, maximum 18 per team.
– Under 13: born on or after Sept. 1, 1987 and in the sixth grade or lower; minimum of 10 players, maximum 18 per team.
The under-14 division is made up of those born on or after Sept. 1, 1986 and those born after Sept. 1, 1987 but in the seventh grade or higher; minimum of 10 players, maximum 18 per team.
