Gilbert Youth House League
9U
Because our House League is non-contact, we've found that players between the ages of 6-9 work well together.
Coaching focuses on proper technique for:
- ground ball scoops
- holding the stick & cradling
- passing and catching
- footwork
- shooting
- teamwork
Games will typically require a 2-pass-shoot rule, and rules will be enforced for the purpose of keeping the game fun and safe
12U
Because our House League is non-contact, we've found that players between the ages of 10-12 work well together.
Coaching focuses on proper technique for everything 9U works on, plus:
- communication
- dodging
- using both right and left handed techniques
Games will typically require a 5 second pass rule, and rules will be enforced for the purpose of keeping the game fun and safe
14U
Because our House League is non-contact, we've found that players between the ages of 13-14 work well together (we may occasionally allow 12yo's to play up).
Coaching focuses on proper technique for everything 12U works on, plus:
- offensive/defensive strategies
- picks/screens
- off hand shooting
