8U Team Info

Bennington, NE

Welcome to the 8U Boys & Girls Division Page:

​

Bennington Soccer Club (BENSC) conducts annual player assessments for all 8U and above players. As a club, we have determined that by conducting player assessments, we are better able to match "like" skilled players together which ultimately improves their individual development. (Assessments: are not try-outs, no player will be cut from the program)

​

 

Practices:

Sessions are scheduled for Tuesday's from 6:00 - 7:00 PM at the BENSC Complex.

​

8U Coaches can request additional field space for a second weekly practice time. Please send an email to competition@benningtonsoccer.org. Additional practice space will be granted based on field availability (extra field space availability for 8U is on Friday evenings and possibly some weekend time slots based on home NYSL games).

​

Please see the practice schedule on the TeamSnap app for official dates/times after registration has closed.  All 8U coaches will upload the practice and game schedules to the TeamSnap app when that info is available.

Fall schedules will run from mid August - October depending on weather.

Spring schedules will run from mid March - mid June depending on weather.

Weather Cancellations:

Will be emailed and/or texted out division wide or by your players coach, via the TeamSnap app.  Please note - we have GREAT fields, and they drain very well.  If it has rained earlier in the day, but has cleared by practice time - we will most likely still hold practice!  If there is severe weather in the area, we will cancel practice early - so please stay near our complex when weather is a potential issue.
