The spring season will bring a few changes to the Youth Development
Program. After several years leading the program, Amber Lawless has
moved on, and is now the Director of Coaching for BYSL. Thanks to Amber
for all of her hard work and commitment to the program. As the new
Co-Directors, we plan to continue providing high quality coaching in a
positive and fun atmosphere. We have each coached many seasons in YDP
and are looking forward to building on an already strong foundation.

The U11/U12 program will continue moving forward in providing a
positive developmental environment for our youth players. The format of
the games will continue to be an 8 versus 8 rather than 11 versus 11
format. Many soccer leagues around the country are moving to this
format including most of the leagues in Boise and those that
participate in the Snake River league here in Eastern Idaho. Upcoming
State Cup competitions will have 8 v. 8 rather than 11 v. 11. Why the
change?
More touches on the ball to enhance individual player development
All players involved more in offense and defense
More scoring opportunities, therefore, more excitement and postivie experiences
A smaller player-to-coach ratio
Maximized interactions and movement during the game
Smaller fields to better suit the physical ability of players
Last fall, BYSL worked with the City of Idaho Falls to establish four
reduced sized fields at Sunnyside Park to accommodate the U11/U12 teams
and the YDP. These fields have been a great benefit as they are more
appropriately sized for the 8 v. 8 format and player age. We thank the
City and supporting individuals within BYSL for helping with these
fields.
