AVON U10 SDS Farmington Valley League

The U10 program is designed to provide a structured and developmentally appropriate training environment for
U10 players. Supported by professional trainers, age-specific curricula is delivered each season based on the
United States Soccer Federation’s (USSF) Grassroots approach, to better support the coaching environment and
the development of youth players. 
For U10 players, we build the season around a World Cup soccer experience. Players will be placed into teams of
World Cup countries. Players can learn more about the players, culture and countries associated with the team
they’ll represent for the season. 
U10 will have one practice and one game per week, and they will follow a 7v7 game format. 

Program Features

   - 8-week age-specific curriculum
- Implementation of US Soccer's Grassroots coaching method
- Communications app for all resources, schedules and program information.
- Weekly professional trainer demos and support
- Pre-season coach and parent meetings
- A World Cup themed jersey
- Game coaching and support
- An engaging 7v7 game format playing against local towns.

U10 Volunteer Opportunities
 
    - Parents are encouraged to help and coach. Please consider coaching your child's team for this season.  It will truly be a rewarding experience for both you and your child. We are in need of a Head Coach and an Assistant Coach for each team. All training, curriculum, equipment and coaching support is provided for you to be successful.
- Prior to the season, there will be a coaching clinic to help parents become more comfortable on the field and understand the skills being taught at this age group.
- Team rosters will be announced once all volunteer positions are filled.
- We are also looking for U10 boys and U10 girls’ coordinators to liaise with our training partner Soccer XS and be a point of contact for coaches and parents at the field. This is an easy role for a parent or coach to get involved in helping the program run smoothly and supporting the experience for everyone.
