1st through 4th Grade – Banditos League

Our newest offering, the Banditos League is a recreational/competitive hybrid league for 1st through 4th grade players. There will be four teams for the spring. Each team will have 7 players and will participate in an eight-game schedule.

Games will be 5v5, which includes four field players and one goalkeeper. Coaches will rotate in players who are on the bench every quarter, or more frequently where possible. All players will rotate between the different field positions and the goalkeeper position, though they may not have the opportunity to play every position in each game.

The four teams will play each of the other teams twice. After six weeks, teams will be ranked based on number of points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss) and seated into a tournament bracket for our Banditos Trophy on June 3.

Teams will play a semifinal match and the winning teams will compete for the trophy in the final. Teams that don’t advance to the final will play a consolation match.

NOTE: Players in 4th grade may also participate in the U12 league.

Game Length – 40 minutes (four 10-minte quarters will breaks in between for substitutions and water). Game Location – All Games will be in Baltic at 211 Buena Vista St, Baltic, OH 43804
