JOIN NOWu10 team selection and playing format
I am coaching u10 BOYS this year for the first time, have only worked with u7-u9's, as I have it there are now 8 players per side. How do I determine which players to play in which positions and what format do I play? Do we have to play with a dedicated goalie or just backs? At this age do I pick the 8 most talented players and slot them in positions or do I pick players according to positions? Hope this makes sense...

Before you decide how to play your 8 a side you should look at what formation they are most likely to finish up playing when they go up to 11 aside and base your 8 aside on that. This will make the player learn by default and makes the transation between the different age groups easier.
