Our under 10 girls teams play 8 versus 8 with a goal keeper. We have designed this program to allow the players to get several touches on the ball in a fun and exciting environment. Both the field and the goals are smaller than full-sided fields to allow the players to have success. This is the final small-sided transition to 11v11. We continue to keep the emphasis on the fun and learning of the game.
