Traditionally most soccer teams have started by playing  two years of microsoccer which is sponsored by the Viking Soccer Club.  We (the Viking Soccer League) support this as we believe that it is the best developmentally for learning soccer skills.  However, we have not required teams to do so since a few teams have preferred a different option.

We have a limited amount of field space available for U7 and U8 teams.  Last year the rec and park department announced that they would not make practice fields available for microsoccer teams.  We are very concerned that this may cause a number of teams in the U7/U8 age group to try to switch to playing in the Viking League (rather than microsoccer).  Therefore, if this happens we may have to limit the number of teams that we accept in this age group.  If this is the case we will accept teams in the following order:

1. Teams that have a preexisting affiliation with playing in our league

2. Teams that have played at least two years of microsoccer (this would be two fall seasons)

3. Teams that have played at least one year of microsoccer (this would be a fall season or a spring season)

4. Other teams with U8 teams accepted prior to U7 teams.
