Curriculum U10

Organization The U10 Youth training sessions can also be offered as a circuit. The advantage of this is that the children are moving a lot in small groups and that the training is sufficiently varied. The coaches can participate with their own team. The exercises consist largely of game formats, competitions, and exercises involving finishing on goal. Finally, small matches of up to 5-a-side are played. Age Characteristics Children of this age have a strong urge to move. These children are individualistic, but are increasingly playing together (ages 10-11). The U10 Youth can easily learn basic technique, although coordination is not yet optimal for everyone and the learning pace is usually slow. As a result, the players in possession of the ball need to pay a lot of attention to the ball and pay little attention to their fellow players. Learning Objectives Because this age group plays on an increasingly large field, the focus initially is on playing the ball and simple teamwork. Compared to... For the F-team, the techniques must be performed primarily through movement. The practice materials still primarily consist of game and competition formats, encouraging playful learning. After one to one and a half hours of training, all players should leave the field with a flushed face and a smile on their face.
