This age group is all about FUN!  Kids this age do not need to be coached with exhaustive drills. The kids should just learn to enjoy the game of soccer through learning greater skills development as the season progresses.  The most important thing is that each participant has plenty of touches on the ball with the emphasis being on player development.  The U10 program will have two practices each week; the Park Director will conduct a 10-minute “Super Session” at the first practice session of the week. The coach of the team determines the nights of the practices.  They play 6v6 (includes a goalkeeper).  All regularly scheduled games are on Saturdays or Sundays.  All players should wear shin guards, bring water and a size 4 soccer ball to all practices and games.

This cost is separate from the program cost and should be paid for online during the registration process). Parents must provide a size 4 soccer ball and shin guards. Players may wear tennis shoes, “turfs” or molded cleats.
