Local 6v6 Spring Soccer League

It is an exciting time around Humboldt County with the debut of the first ever Local 6v6 Spring Soccer League!

The season will begin April 5th and include teams from Mad River Soccer Club, Eel River Youth Soccer Club, and Eureka Youth Soccer Club.

The advantages of 6v6 soccer are endless and will benefit all players involved. With a smaller field size, and fewer players on the pitch, it will allow players more touches and time on the ball. Also with smaller roster sizes players will be able to work with their coaches in a much more private setting than in a typical spring season. With this in mind all coaches have been instructed to focus on the technical skills of the game rather than being restricted by the tactical necessities of an 11v11 season.

Technical ability is extremely important and will be the key to our player’s future success. These skills will translate to a full size, 11v11 field seamlessly, and the improvement will be undeniable in all Mad River players involved this coming fall.
