***Disclaimer***
This document is meant to be a coaching guide. You as a coach may have to make
modifications based upon your team's ability level. Several different factors will influence a
team's ability including (but not limited to):Geographic location
Weather: Its tough for some players to train in snow.Competition: Areas with a lot of teams/clubs can foster a very competitive
environment thereby raising the overall level of play in that area.
Experience level of the playersHave they been exposed to the game previously by playing themselves or through a
sibling or fiend playing?Player dedication
How hard do the players work in and out of practice to improve their skill level.

Characteristics of U10, U12, and U14 Soccer Players
Children are not miniature adults! Youth soccer players do not have all the physical,
cognitive, and social abilities that adult soccer players have. Developmentally appropriate
activities take into consideration what players can actually do and base training aroundthose abilities. These characteristics are from the US Youth Soccer Player Development
Curriculum1. All children differ (+/- up to 3 years), these are merely general characteristics!
U10
Lengthened attention span - they are still in motion, but not as busy, only holding still long
enough for a short explanation
More inclined toward wanting to play rather than being told to playPsychologically becoming slighting more firm and confidentSome are becoming more serious about their playTeam orientated - prefer team type balls and equipment. Enjoy the uniforms and team
association.
Boys and girls beginning to develop separatelyDeveloping the pace factor - thinking aheadGross and small motor skills becoming much more refinedU12
Better able to deal with flighted ballsCan sequence thoughts and actions to perform more complex tasksCan use abstract thought to meet the demands of the gameShould be able to simultaneously run, strike the ball and thinkFull of eagerness to learn Important psychosocial implications for a child entering pubertyPopularity influences self-esteem Improved coordinationSignificant physical differences exist between the genders now
