Grades
2 and below
The youngest group, grades
2 and below, play on Sunday afternoons. Each session
consists of a short clinic/practice that will include instructional/competitive
drills followed by a controlled scrimmage. The 2nd graders will have a few
games and jamborees during the season.

The Girls League is comprised of
girls in grades 2 and below, grades 3 & 4, grades 5 & 6 and grades 7
and 8. The younger groups are structured with
more emphasis on fundamentals first, leading to team play. The older girls focus on basic skills but will move at a quicker pace
toward game situations. Conditioning and competitive drills will be part of the
program structure. |

Grades
3/4
Boys in the 3rd and 4th grades
will usually play games on weekends, with practices during the week. They
play
against other teams in Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut and they
typically attend several jamborees which include a large number of teams from the
Northeast. At this level, the goals are to
have fun and introduce the players to controlled game situations. The emphasis
is on sportsmanship, responsibility, learning how to be a “team player” and
recognizing the importance of practice and commitment. Although “winning” is
always fun, it is not the major focus at this level. There are no tryouts.

from Westchester, CT and NJ.
The goals are to have fun and introduce the players to

Grades 5/6 and
7/8
Doc's
also offers teams for 5th/6th and the
7th/8th grade players.
Although the schedule varies from week to week, these teams typically play
games on weekends and practice during the week. They also play in a number of major tournaments in the
Tri-State area.
The teams play against other youth teams in
the Hudson Valley League, as well as
additional teams from New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island. The
goals of these teams is to continue to extend basic skills into team play.
Learning the game and good sportsmanship remains the primary objective at
all levels, although as the players get older the play gets more
competitive.

girls are expected to play in travel
games as well as attend practices. Games will be scheduled against teams from Long Island, Connecticut,
Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, as well as local tournaments. At
this level, more emphasis will be put on fielding a competitive team, but the
primary emphasis remains on sportsmanship, responsibility, learning how to be a “team
player” and recognizing the importance of practice and commitment.
