How Teams Are Formed
All students play with their own grade on all-boys or all-girls teams. Depending on how many athletes register, grades may be combined within the school — or with other parish schools — in order to field a team.
Practices
Two or three times per week, usually 90 minutes.
Where: St. Matthew Field, behind the Gahanna Swim Club
All of our coaches are volunteers, so practice schedules are arranged to fit their work schedules as best we can.
Uniforms & Equipment
Uniforms are provided by St. Matthew.
Your athlete brings: Shin guards and an individual practice ball are required and are not provided.
Games & Locations
Games can be held on any day of the week.
Where: Schools within the diocese.
Tournaments: Grades 5–8 play in the end-of-season tournament, usually the second weekend of September.
