Lúcida actuación la de nuestro equipo de pre-infantiles varones que se adjudicó la zona invicto, con un importante triunfo ante el equipo del Club Morán por 2 a 1.
The children appear to be 6 or 7, by "pre-infantiles" makes it sound like an "embryonic" team ;

I am considering this one or an adaptation thereof. Those the other terms suggested are used, they probably would not mean too much to someone outside the league or organization that uses them. On Google, I found the term "youth" in relation to tennis categories, so I may include that.
Thanks for your interest.

Pee Wee


Explanation:
Big shots

That's how one site had it.

Pee Wee 6-7
Big shots 8-10

There's nothing official in all this. SO if you want to remain generic, you can say
Boys Team (8-10 yrs. old) But I kinda like the Big Shots

Explanation:
Hi Paul,

Wow, that's a tough one! How about 'beginners' for the 10-12 yr. olds, and pre-beginners for those "pre-infantiles"? Just an option that may help you. It's not an easy question!!

Saludos y suerte!
