NORTH TEXAS SOCCER ACADEMY RULES

In the Summer of 2004, North Texas Soccer created an additional form of league play labeled "Soccer Academies."  The complete text of the rule is under Section 3.10.3 of the North Texas Bylaws/Rules (http://www.ntxsoccer.org/Bylaws/ntssa_rules.pdf).

Be sure to read the complete Rule to fully understand Soccer Academies.  Some of the highlights:

• A "Soccer Academy" is a group of Under 8 through Under 19 registered NTSSA recreational players who desire to participate with other players without following the recreational team formation rules.

• Soccer Academy play is in addition to recreational play.

• The purposes of the Soccer Academies are to:

  • Provide recreational players who have aspirations of becoming a more accomplished player an avenue to test and enhance his or her skills.

  • Provide recreational players an opportunity to train with experienced coaches.

  • Provide recreational players an opportunity to investigate the level of play with which they are comfortable, which players they would like to play with, and for which coaches they would like to play.

• Age division play will be designated as Under 9 or Under 10. Scores and standings should not be kept. Under 7 and 8 players may participate with Academy teams for one practice only per week
  and may not compete in any games (league, tournament, or scrimmage games).
