As of Fall 2010, 5th & 6th Grade Boys will play in the WSA Inter County program.  For a detailed program description of Inter County, please click here.

Once players reach the 5th and 6th grade they will begin playing on a full size field. At this stage players know the rules of the game, positioning, and have obtained a certain skill level. Teams are expected to field a 50/50 mix of 5^th and 6^th graders.

Practices occur on Saturdays between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and matches are played on Sundays between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.  Professional Training is provided for this age group for the training of players.

Games last approximately 70 minutes and scores and team results are maintained.  Games are refereed by certified Grade 8 or Grade 9 referees.  The fall season culminates in a tournament to determine the 5^th/6^th division champion and trophies are awarded.

All matches are played at various fields around Westfield.
