The AYSO 10U program is designed to build confident, skilled, and enthusiastic young soccer players in a fun, supportive environment. At this age, players continue developing their technical abilities while learning how to apply those skills in game situations.

Practices and games focus on ball mastery, dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending, with an increased emphasis on team play, spacing, and basic tactical understanding. Players are encouraged to make decisions on the field, solve problems, and grow their love of the game.

The 10U division typically plays 7v7 soccer, which allows players to get more touches on the ball and stay actively involved throughout the match. Coaches emphasize effort, sportsmanship, and improvement over results, ensuring every player continues to develop at their own pace.

Above all, the 10U program reflects AYSO’s core philosophies:

• Everyone Plays®

• Balanced Teams

• Open Registration

• Positive Coaching

• Good Sportsmanship

• Player Development

Whether players are continuing from younger divisions or new to soccer, the AYSO 10U program provides a strong foundation for skill development, teamwork, and a lifelong enjoyment of the game.
