U10 Sample Practice Activities

U10 Game Rules

  • Games are comprised of 15 minute quarters.

  • Substitutions take place at the quarter break.  Allow players remaining in the game to get a drink of water, especially if it’s hot.  This break should take 1-3 minutes. 

  • Substitutions cannot be made except at the three sub periods (1st quarter, half time and 3rd quarter) unless a player is hurt or ill or simply demands to come out of the game.

  • Goal keepers are allowed in U10.  When the goal keeper collects the ball in the penalty area, all opposing players must clear the area before the punt may take place.  The ball must be allowed to exit the penalty area before the ball is touched by an opposing player.

  • Any player who is playing in the goal, must get an equal amount of time on the field.

  • All players must play ½ of the game.  No player can play a full game until all players have played 3/4 of the game.
