The U9 and U10 boys have teams that are roughly double the size of normal U9 and U10 teams. This allows them to play two games side by side on Saturdays and have the coaches divide the players onto the fields so that you have players of a similar ability playing against each other. Providing multiple playing environments increases the chances of players finding a level they are comfortable with and that they can participate fully in.

 Because these teams now have 20-24 players we have developed a series of practice plans that are suitable for teams of these sizes while keeping the material age appropriate and manageable to run. There will be six in all when complete. They can be downloaded below as pdfs. The files are large because each one incorporates a jpeg of hand drawn diagrams of the activities in addition to text descriptions.

Other age groups, boys and girls, are welcome to use or adapt these sessions for their own teams.
